The art of a good cuppa

Win a new coffee machine

If you're a budding barista and reckon your capuccinos are as good as any professional's, you could win a new coffee machine worth €700 at the Dublin Coffee & Tea Festival at the RDS, Dublin, next Friday to Sunday. The Home Barista competition will involve making an espresso and a capuccino on a standard machine and the best will go through to a final judged by Domini Kemp, whose food businesses includes Joe's, a speciality coffee shop in Arnott's, Dublin 1. There will also be professional brewing competitions and latte art events at the festival, which will also feature a food village. See dublincoffeefestival.com.
