2014 Espresso Italiano Championship



On Friday 3rd October 2014 from 10:00am – 4.00pm, the Italian Espresso National Institute's (INEI) Espresso Italiano Championship 2014 will take place at the RAC in Pall Mall.  16 top baristas from 14 espresso companies and organizations around the world demonstrate their skills to be crowned Espresso Italiano Champion 2014.

The competition stands out amongst the coffee community, as it judges the skill of the professional barista not their showmanship.

The INEI is responsible for the protection and promotion of original espresso through a product certification, and member companies can use the Italiano Espresso guarantee. Carlo Odello – Communications Manager for the INEI – sees London as a hub for coffee trends, a key reason for the location of this year's championship:

''The UK has an incredible market that is growing so fast. Coming to London means being in the centre of the coffee world today and having the opportunity to see the future of the market''

Each barista represents one INEI company or organisation: Mokarico, Altogusto, Astoria, Milani, Costadoro, Essse Caffè, Filicori Zecchini, La Genovese, Wega, Torrefazione Satumo, Torrefazione Caffè Michele Battista, Torrefazione Caffè Schreyoegg, International Institute of Coffee Tasters – Japan, International Institute of Coffee Tasters - Korea.

Each barista has 11 minutes to prepare four espressos and four cappuccinos. A technical judging panel of skilled professionals from the Italian coffee industry will grade them while a sensory judging panel of four officials from the International Institute of Coffee Tasters will  sit in a separate room to let the coffee speak for itself.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
