Round 1.

3 cups in a set, 2 are the same coffee, one is different.
There are 8 sets of 3 cups per person (24 cups each x 3 tables 72 cups per round).
All you have to do is pick the odd one!


Here is a shot of cups as far as the eye can see.

David "brain fades" and lifts a cup off the table. This then becomes his selection and gets pushed forward.

The final 3 is made-up of Tom, Toshi and Luca. All three scored 6 correct in the heats so we all know the final will be close.

Luca has the added pressure of the trophies watching over his left shoulder...

The trophys are ready...

Re: AASCA Victorian Cupping - 20th Sept. Melb Show

and the winner is TOM with a perfect final round of 8 or 8 coffees.

Tom took home a huge pile of loot including a new machine and grinder package from CoffeeSnobs site sponsor Diamond-C and he tells me it will upgrade his Silvia at home.

Best of luck for the National comp Tom, with scores like that you should give it a shake!
