NICE, FRANCE BY SARAH ALLEN PHOTOS BY DAVID HENDERSON, WORLD COFFEE EVENTS, AND SARAH ALLEN THE INTERNATIONAL BARISTA COMMUNITY flooded the French Riviera city of Nice June 26–28, for the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe's (SCAE) World of Coffee fair, and specifically for the World Latte Art Championship (WLAC), the World Coffee In Good Spirits Championship (WCIGS), and the World Cup Tasters Championship (WCTC), all being held during the SCAE event. Between a charming beach party hosted by Coffee Kids, a gala affair at a seaside palace hosted by Nice-based Unic espresso machines, and other evening events, baristas battled it out in latte art excellence, coffee cocktail challenges, and an intense series of cupping triangulations. More national barista champions than ever before participated in these three World Coffee Events competitions, and the results were heartbreaking for some, breathtaking for others. In the following pages, we offer a glimpse into the competitions and events, parties, and soirees, all of which combined to make this week in June in the South of France a few days these coffee professionals will never forget. 32 barista magazine
