Northeast Regional Barista Competition 2007

By Amina Omari | Apr 29, 2007

Gimme barista Colleen Carey took her signature "shiny happy face" all the way to a bronze.

The judges only look grim because they're required to. They're actually thrilled.

Faster, faster.

Wrist wrist, elbow elbow.

The Bear Creek ski lodge was our venue.

Fifteen minutes is not a lot of time to make twelve perfect drinks.

Chris Deferio aces his cappuccino round.

The man with the clipboard is a technical judge. Respect.

Stir, sniff, taste.

That's right — they're taking notes already and they haven't even been served.

Chris Deferio was the first-ever Northeast Barista Champion. Bring on Long Beach!
