CCBC 2012 results

The 2012 Central Canadian barista competition was held earlier this week (Tuesday and Wednesday July 24-25) over at the historic hart house in the iconic Great Hall -- on university of toronto campus.

How fitting was the 2 day coffee expo and competition? It was a feverish excitement as CCBC has a new venue and the buzz within the crowd was infectious.

Only 2 of the last years top 6 performed but that it meant the new blood brought the revived energy to CCBC.

Here we're the top 6:

5. Brett Johnston Crafted coffee 556   Te Aro
