Australian Barista Competition 2008
I’m back, I’m inspired and I’m completely stoked to have taken out third place in the 2008 National Barista Competition.
If it’s a warm, smooth, velvety, balanced, delicious cup of perfection you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.
Welcome to W.A.B.A., the Western Australian Barista Academy, dedicated to teaching some serious coffee excellence to just about anyone who will listen.
The good news is that you don’t need any experience. All you need is a genuine interest in coffee, and voila, you qualify. Go on, impress at home or become a barista to be reckoned with, you’ll find course options here for all levels.
We take our training seriously, it’s all we do. Classes are kept to a minimum, we use really expensive, shiny equipment and all our coffee is locally roasted to ensure maximum flavour, aroma, body, deliciousness… well you get the idea.
