Barista Competition
Stephen Morrissey - Irish Barista Champion 2008!
Massive congratulations to Stephen on winning the Irish Barista Championship (as well as winning the latte art and the cupping, the talented swine!)
Both Anette and I were gutted we couldn’t be in Dublin to support Stephen, and to watch him win. I know from Tokyo that Jen (Stephen’s better half) is great at supporting someone competing and Tim Styles no doubt did a great job of helping do all the things that make competing a little bit easier and a tiny bit less stressful.
I am looking forward to finding out more about how Stephen did and reading his write up of the event. In the meatime I hope he got very, very drunk after the event as I believe is fitting.
Thanks also to the Coffee Collective for roasting awesome coffee, and as they have set the bar very high when it comes to working on a coffee for Stephen to use in Copenhagen once we start roasting.
Stephen is a great barista, and a great ambassador for coffee in Ireland and in general. I can’t wait to watch and support him in Copenhagen!
Congratulations again.

Thanks to you guys (James and Anette) for putting Stephen on to our coffee. We’re proud to have such a talented man use our coffee. And we know you’ll make an awesome Square Mile espresso for Stephen in time for Copenhagen. Oh, and I think Stephen is probably still out celebrating
Please cancel the man’s passport immediately lest he do the rest of the world out of the chance to compete!
What an amazing trifecta - well done.
