- About Me:
- My name is Anne Cooper and I just love using the molecular formula for caffeine as my user name!!
I have been competing in the Barista comps since 2005.
Have won the AASCA Queensland Barista of the Year 2006-2008 and have been in the AASCA Australian Barista Final 2006-2008.
Am really passionate about barista training and see the barista comps as a way of taking skills, knowledge and understanding to a completely higher level.
Am also passionate about an industry I have chosen to be a part of and for the profession of the barista to be recognised in Australia as a credible profession.
Once my time with the barista comps is over this year I am really looking forward to taking more of an active part in organising the barista comps and jams in Queensland.
I also love photography (of coffee stuff of course!)
I have a serious addiction to collecting tampers (am up to 15 so far!!) Am seriously jealous of the barista chick with a Louis Vuitton tamper!!
Love finding groovy music for playing at the comps.
Love collecting cups too- barista comps are a good excuse for this!!! (my fave cups by far are the Terrakeramik - well worth the expense!!)
Have also now moved into roasting, which has been a longterm goal of mine as it now means more involvement with green bean from buying to quality control to even newtworking more with the farmers etc.
- About My Company:
