Y'all might've seen this guy peeping from over the machine the last year at Newtown making us all have a wee giggle while we make your brews.
Well Hitoshi this week will be making a few brews for the judges while he completes in the Wellington Barista Open 3pm on Friday ☕ 🙏
In the format two baristas go head to head preparing 3 courses to the judges within their service time. An espresso course, milk beverage course & alternative milk beverage course.
It puts the baristas personality, adaptability and skills to the test through a format similar to day to day service in a cafe.
We reckon Hitoshi can brew and charm his way to the top 🕺
Pop down to Laffare on College St to show your support for the GOAT🐐
