Who the heck are the All Stars, you may ask?
Well, the World Coffee Events organisation is the team that runs the international coffee competitions including the World Barista Championship, World Latte Art Championship and World Coffee in Good Spirits. In an effort to spread an appreciation for specialty coffee and raise the profiles of the coffee professionals pushing at the front of the curve, they came up with a set of events that are built to educate and inspire people of all levels of interest about coffee.
All Stars is one such event. A way for the coffee professionals who have placed in the finals of the highest level of coffee competition to show off their skill sets and to get people to interact with some of the best coffees and techniques in the world.
