2013 WBC Finals - Pete Licata, United States

[@xSpuGz]

why aren't all wbcs filmed like this? Very professional and easy to watch. This was the year I got into speciality coffee and I learned a lot from these performances.

[@griefscapes]

It was just after this that the WBC went from being a non profit to a business. It definitely changed the vibe

[@Visualmetal]

Yeah, that was so fun with the commentary!!

[@jongmassey]

My left ear enjoyed this video

[@malphasyiu4584]

And my right ear got fucked.

[@olwethusilo7155]

Lol 😂

[@karamemad9491]

Hahahaha lol

[@TheSycroPin]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[@Barnacules]

I want to see a Starbucks Barista try to compete! "Here is your coffee, Oh it's wrong? Let me take off the top and dump a little out and try to fix it instead of remake it" :P

[@HeyImDay]

no idea this is a thing..it is tremendous!

[@Heliosaurus]

Surprised to see you here Barnacules! Didnt know you liked this stuff :)

[@Heliosaurus]

davidAnonsen Has your mom ever told you about her side job? You would feel uncomfortable using that term if you did.

[@brawler4456]

+Barnacules Nerdgasm ya srsly dude how did you end up here? hahahah

[@ahmadaamer6]

Barnacules Nerdgasm That would be funny...

[@GwenCoonen]

I'm just finding out now, how to properly making an enjoyable homemade coffee. Being just a beginner in drinking this, it was nice knowing there are so many things to discover and enjoy... This level of passion and effort to their job is amazing..surely I'll never even come close to a 'barista'- standard, which also isn't my goal to do so. But it's lovely to watch and listen to how many different things go into this sort of drink and made me think on a different note about these baristas and what they stand for. Enjoyed his explanation and passion, thanks for sharing this ! :)

[@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite]

It is not all that hard, just like cooking. You just have to have knowledge and care about it to make it great. But I suppose that is a lot to ask of "today's society"

[@GwenCoonen]

Siege Perilous That's true ...in cooking I'm pretty good actually and also love to do it. Aswell as baking and working with chocolate etc... Coffee however was complete new for me..perfecting this however has , just like cooking, 1 disadvantage..I have to do it all the time for family and friends 'because it always tastes better'.hahaha

[@MrKomrich]

You can endlessly watch the fire and the work of professional

[@miquelsubira3076]

Very inspirational! amazing speech skills!

[@robertcoomer912]

As a barista, I can completely understand how someone can see a competition like this to be a complete waste of time. I, however, find the coffee world fascinating, which is why I will never again make fun of an occupation/hobby that someone enjoys, no matter how unimportant it seems to me.

[@jokkemartens8065]

Word! That's actually really good life advice. :)

[@GAMIwitheoI]

why they call those coffe milk drinks cappuccino? they are without any froth, just a bit on top. The milk is for sure structured, from a Barista worldchampon, but the drink doesnt look a properly cappuccino

[@demdave24]

why are all these videos in mono?? can't figure out.

[@Fierakgaming]

Who is the British commentator? Sounds like Steve from Has Bean.

[@myminoxbeard3089]

yeah it is, stephen leighton.

[@vancouvercanucksfan9]

I was looking for World Baseball Championships...

[@olwethusilo7155]

😂

[@halfbreed1426]

Wow, comments are working again. Didn't actually want that one to go through.

[@JVIPER88]

I don't get it, but as long as they don't start calling themselves "athletes", I'm OK with it.

[@Dan-uo6vi]

Barista is the definition for a coffee house employee...

[@JVIPER88]

Yes, I know that.

[@johnfogarty5655]

***** *REAL Barista.

[@fouter81]

***** So he still is some kind of coffee house employee :)

[@MrFreeze79]

Fouter B lowest paid coffee shop employee.. i never knew this 'world' existed. this is insane.

[@vinoliperera3031]

What's the music he is using at the beginning?! 😍

[@RoastRatings]

It's called "Clutter" by Ronald Jenkees

[@MrFreeze79]

i think i saw him working at my local star bucks.

[@ITakeMoneyAdviceFromZed]

nope

[@Kjevois]

The jury in the right (the blond one) is follow in love of him

[@JBdrum]

the audio, its always so bad...

[@olwethusilo7155]

Yep 🙈

[@AndrewPeters1989]

Those aren't Cappuccinos, they're closer to Lattes.

[@deadwina]

It's because he layered the crema and milk, this crema sitting on top of milk and vice versa, but if you look the judges test the milk for consistency and depth to make sure that it meets the standard reqs. of a capp

[@olwethusilo7155]

🙈

[@andyrosamond8663]

15:38, He admits actuality of a 3 day expresso coffee expressionism with the young lady in white. Thank you.

[@alexluis3612]

por favor pon la traducción a español no entiendo nada de lo que dice please put the Spanish translation does not understand anything he says

[@rlburns585]

this exists?

[@MatthewGillespiedj]

This man is suave.

[@DavidHager1]

That judge in the white looks like she isn't listening to the guy at all she just wants him lol

[@DavidHager1]

​@@aocplusme5676 That makes sense, I wonder if her hard hearing enhances her sense of taste to help her be a better judge like this www.hearinglikeme.com/deaf-heightened-senses/

[@grosous]

Blonde girl on the right felt in love

[@thearmy1548]

To compete world barista championship is not that easy i guess I have been watching WBC for long.

[@maxtheleper]

does anyone know the title of the song he opens with?

[@griefscapes]

It's called Clutter by Ronald Jenkies

[@thai2go]

Dammit. Give me a black coffee and a sherry pie!

[@minameaar1]

The judge on the far right definitely fancies him

[@Dino-ir4or]

Definitively. She's melting literally :-)

[@ITakeMoneyAdviceFromZed]

thought the same lol

[@onpatrol4422]

The blonde judge on the end.. wouldn't mind banging her that's for sure :)

[@PBthecat]

Where is the ShamWow guy when you need him....

[@smashedaco666]

My left ear enjoyed the M.J..

[@cetusipy]

This is one of the strangest competitions I've seen on youtube. Is this a normal barista challenge?

[@SkrimaTJ]

Very normal, It is a strange culture.

[@cetusipy]

Timothy Johnson Yeah, it's really odd. They have commentators and seem to be trying to hype it up like an action sport, but it's just a guy pouring coffee. I would swear it was Japanese game show theme if I didn't know better.

[@davidchodur7773]

cetusipy Did you ever tried to make an espresso ? There is quite much to perfect from grinding to pushing caffe in portafilters and even slight change can totally change the taste.

[@airacakep]

I am a barista. And it took years of hard training to get a perfect cup of latte with beautiful art on it. Barista championship is not just about pouring milk over espresso. It i a combination of art, guts, and millions of technique.

[@deadwina]

*****

[@Alexlega9]

13:28 what liquid used in this part?

[@RoastRatings]

Palm sugar simple syrup and a little non alcoholic bitters

[@notomatoesbbq]

man he sounds nervous as fk

[@robertpemberton3952]

The blond is just falling in love with him as it goes on

[@hizkiakumaat2206]

Does anyone know how much the volume capacity of the cup that Pete used in his cappuccino course?

[@RoastRatings]

If I recall, they were 6oz & a "tulip" style shape

[@rexnickles2]

Pete Licata, 2013 Hipster Champion.

[@pimpernel89]

I wonder what and why they do with the spoon thingie before tasting the cappucino??

[@tylerkaschke1]

They do that to assess the consistency of the steamed milk.

[@malphasyiu4584]

Tyler Kaschke Incorrect, they are checking if there is enough froth in the coffee. Checking Consistency req 2 coffees. but they have only got 1each. Min 1cm is req for Latte. And he did a flat white, most champions would/will use Latte - it's easier to check the level of foam, foam bring in the sweetness as well. Why not Cap? It contents choc, choc contents sugar - which is banned.

[@tylerkaschke1]

Malphas Yiu Yeah, that's what I meant by checking the consistency of the steamed milk, froth, foam, whatever you want to call it. Maybe viscosity, density, or thickness would have been better words to use? Those are cappuccinos, though. No chocolate in cappuccinos.

[@noaltrix]

epicureo25...he chilled the coffee at the beginning to have it at the same temp...

[@cpuddic2]

Audio is only right speaker! augh

[@opmike343]

Left channel. The audio on your system must be reversed.

[@She.Follows.The.Sun.]

He could have me

[@wail9652]

good job

[@henryw12345]

Who are the commentators?

[@RoastRatings]

Peter Guiliano & Steven Leighton

[@Beansswtf]

What the fuck am i watching...

[@Socomnick]

I asked myself this lol.

[@cbar6537]

My rich ear is lonely..

[@cbar6537]

Right* damn autocorrect

[@davidAnonsen]

This is the whitest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@thearmy1548]

At 5:20 Was that his signature drink??

[@RoastRatings]

This is the description of his espresso. As far as what he was doing, he was preparing signature drink shots that will be chilling until the last course of the performance

[@visualsofisa]

At 11:35 she broke his heart

[@morganchan2465]

Shut up ! Michael Jackson !

[@레오-c9m]

good^^

[@iqbalbb2]

i dont get it why they checking the contestant so tight. its just show of a man using a machine to create a exquisite liquid stuff. thats it. "Coffee making" is overated. Cookery Competition is way more instresting and have more skills scoring factor. thats my opinion for this Coffee making competition.. dont get me wrong, i respect coffee making has its own skills and difficulties but just not have "Competition Scoring" factor enough . oh yeah i dont respond to your perspective. so dont waste your time. and yeah English is not my first languange.

[@MrCheejiayuan]

+Iqbal Batubara It is hard to fill a cup that is already full.

[@eDumke87]

3:12

[@marcenaketo9356]

Why is so nervous if he is the champion? He stayed up all night porkin the judge in the white and he is afraid her husband is going to beat his ass. When he talks it sounds like BS.

[@ionceateapinecone]

if it takes you 15 minutes to bring me my coffee you are a terrible barista.

[@KFChan]

he took less than 15 min to serve 12 drinks. Less than 2 min per drink. Why would that be a problem?

[@MrsFirebubble]

KF Chan Your cool

[@calebjeon4097]

....poor dude

[@nm-pe9mb]

世界一のバリスタ

[@malphasyiu4584]

Sorry guys, I always loose my shit when I see sugars in coffees, CHEATER!

[@tylerkaschke1]

Sugars aren't cheating in signature drinks. The whole point is to create a beverage with more complexity or to balance the existing acidity. Is it cheating to add bitters to coffee? If you're such a purist, you should just watch the Brewers' Cup because that's pretty straight forward.

[@malphasyiu4584]

Sounds reasonable.

[@jcislord3692]

These guys need rehab

[@olwethusilo7155]

Indeed! 😂

[@beata101s]

Ekspreso do kawy deogihit

[@mauriciobozzo6901]

:D

[@ChaseGuindon]

Awkward and uncomfortable. ugggggh

[@g41thomas]

competition in stupidity!

[@mychoclabwinston]

I hate coffee, why even bother drinking it, very harsh on your digestive system, and tastes like shit, lazy persons drink,
