Lismore, NSW – First Floor Espresso,in partnership with Veneziano Coffee Roasters have announced it will be hosting the Northern NSW Latte Art Championships at The Bank Café, Lismore on Monday 18th November. The Championship will follow a one-on-one knockout format with the winner walking away with $1,000 cash, with food, beverages and coffee demos on show for the local coffee community.
The event is a long time coming, says First Floor Espresso’s Scott Kilpatrick – “The Northern Rivers has long been known as a bit of a hot-bed for great food and coffee, though traditionally it’s the Gold Coast and Brisbane who have all the fun with coffee-centric events and competitions. We felt it was about time our talented café operators, baristas and coffee aficionados were treated to a night out a little closer to home.”
Spectators and competitors alike will be treated to complimentary snacks and beverages, and the event will feature specialty coffee tastings and home brewing tips from Veneziano Coffee Roasters, as well as a showcase of the latest Ubermilk technology by Unknown Coffee. All spectators are in with a chance to win a lucky door prize, while all competitors receive a participation prize.
