The 2nd Philippine National Barista Championship, our country's most prestigious barista competition held last Friday, Oct.17, 2014 at Resorts World Manila.

Aldrin Lumaban of  Craft Coffee Revolution won the prestigious National Barista Championship organized by Allegro Beverage, a leading coffee and beverage supplier in the HoReCa industry with  Resorts World Manila as prestigious platinum partner and sponsor. The Philippines has its representative for the World Barista Championship in Seattle, U.S. next year.
 
He beats 23 contenders during the three-day competition. He was among the six baristas who made it in the final round and competed last night.
 

Mr. Leo H. de Leon, President & General Manager of ABC gives short message to audience and to the participants.

During the competition, Baristas will prepare and serve twelve coffee drinks: four espressos, four cappuccinos and four original espresso-based signature beverages of their own creation, all within a 15-minute timeframe. Seven Judges, including four Sensory Judges, two Technical Judges and one Head Judge, will evaluate each of the competing Baristas.

 
A number of sensory judges  including Lauro Fioretti, chief engineer of espresso coffee machine maker Nuova Simonelli, and Leo de Leon, founder and president of Allegro Beverage Corp, noted the “consistency” of Lumaban’s drinks and communication skills.

 
A barista is judged in both sensory and technical aspects of making coffee.
 
 
The only World Coffee Events-sanctioned competition in the country, PNBC was held at Resorts World Manila and Treston International College between October 15 and 17. PNBC 2014 was organized by Allegro Beverage Corp. and the Association of Filipino Baristas, Inc.


While the competition is on-going, everyone can enjoy and taste free coffee samples from the sponsors of the event.


Mr. Aldrin Lumaban hailed as the newest PNB Champion together with last year Champion, Raymond Fortu.

A barista from Craft Coffee Revolution, Lumaban has been actively joining national competitions and even participated in last year’s PNBC. Kudos to our country's pride and representative in the 2015 World Barista Championship next year. Bring home the bacon Aldrin!
