There’s a lot we love about this new video from Colectivo Coffee. It’s a slice of Big Central Barista Competition life, with North Central Barista Champion and Colectivo barista Josh Wisman in a starring role. The video perfectly archives one company’s experience at a major coffee competition event; it’s like a window into the soul, albeit with more beer (Colectivo is a Milwaukee-based company) and, eventually, a Green Bay Packers victory on Sunday night (again, from Milwaukee).
In no particular order, here’s a list of things that caught our eye:
- Slingshots
- Convertible sunglasses
- Cheetah-print scarves
- Beverages on the espresso machine
- Boxing gyms
This face (that’s Mr. Wismans):
- Winks
- Beards
- Plugs
This happening (that’s MadCap Coffee Company trainer / barista competitor / Barista Guild of America Executive Council member / noted Wisconsinian Colin Whitcomb):
(Also click here for that in full screen)
- A shot with at least seven beards in it at once
- Gingham aprons
Butts:
- Colectivo Keep Cups
- Bro hand holding
- Bro hugs
- Cascara beer
- The bejeweled Cafe Imports cupping table
This touching scene:
This move:
- Lavender
- Figs
- Vintage milk jugs
- Double pouring
Actually, no, we’re gonna stop. We don’t want to spoil it for you. Just watch:
