Gwilym discusses going into competition. discovering how to understand and respect the judges, 

Comparing his skills to the top baristas around him, James Hoffman and James Morrissey, Gwilym took a chance in entering the UKBC.

He explains how he went into the world competition in order to open peoples mind towards espresso.

He went overtime on purpose in his heat in the Finals of the world Barista Championship and as he says himself in the interview “I tried not to win…”

Stories of barista struggles... not having the right gear for the competition:

"Everything apart from the table cloth was borrowed…"

"And then, we started cupping…"

Gwilym tells how he started experimenting with flavours and textures of different techniques.

How he embarrassed himself all in the name of coffee

"Chasing James Hoffman down the street, screaming questions about coffee roasting..."

We chat a little about Gwilyms leap into the world of podcasting and the great Valerian from the Coffee is me podcast being an inspiration to us both.

Big mention of the great Reg Barber, John Gordon, Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, Dan Fellows, Dale harris and many others in this interview...

hope you enjoyed it
