The driving forces behind a championship!
The driving forces behind a
championship!
Preparation is everything when you are about to compete at the World Barista
Championship. It's even more nerve wrecking than the event itself. Organizing
last years WBC in Bogotá, Colombia was a huge challenge, not in the least for
the Dutch competitor Yakup Aidin. Getting all the equipment to South America
resulted in some exciting and hilarious moments.
The financial cost that goes into organizing and participating at a WBC are
high. Therefore financial back-up can be a huge advantage. But it is not only
money the Dutch team seek from their sponsors. Their knowledge, experience and
enthusiasm can make the difference between getting into the final or not.
For the second year in a row, quality espresso spare parts and barista tools
company Nuova Ricambi will sponsor the Dutch team on its quest for gold. Owner
Marcello Zanesi is a very good friend of the Dutch team. His enthusiasm
contributed in last year’s WBC competitor Yakup place in the final. For several
years Marcello has been a very loyal partner and with his support the entire
team is certain that they can progress even further on the global coffee stage
