Die bekende Paarlse barista en radio-omroeper Dillon Martin, wat ongeveer \u2019n jaar en \u2019n half gelede \u2019n nuwe koffie-tuiste in Doha gevind het, het pas derde ge\u00ebindig in Katar se nasionale baristakampioenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dillon is al jare in die koffiebedryf en voor sy vertrek na die vreemde was hy aan die stuur van die plaaslike koffie-roostery in die Paarl, AfriRoast \u2013 d\u00edt alles terwyl hy ook as omroeper by die gemeenskapsradiostasie PaarlFM gewerk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het vanwe\u00eb sy entoesiasme oor koffie gereeld sy koffiestories en ondervindings op die professionele sosialemediaplatform LinkedIn gelaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iemand het s\u00f3 bewus geword van Dillon en vroe\u00ebr vanjaar het die eienaar van \u2019n koffiemaatskappy in Doha hom direk gekontak en \u2019n geleentheid aangebied wat hy nie van die hand kon wys nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is hoekom Dillon verlede jaar Doha toe gevlieg het, waar hy as hoof van koffie-rooster, gehaltebeheer, barista-opleiding, \u2019n koffiekonsultant en koffie-invoerder by die grootste koffie-onderneming in Katar aangestel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kompetisie het van 14 tot 16 September by die Katar- nasionale koffie-uitstalling plaasgevind, waar reusagtige koffie-uitstallings van sommige van die w\u00eareld se heel grootste koffiemaatskappye teenwoordig was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hoofaantrekking, s\u00ea Dillon, was egter die nasionale koffie-kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was senutergend en uiters mededingend, vertel Dillon verder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy moes op \u2019n kol vier espresso\u2019s, vier melkbasiskoffies en vier kenmerk-koffies brou, en dit alles terwyl hy deurgans die proses waarmee hy besig was, verduidelik het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit alles moes binne net 15 minute geskied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deelnemers se koffie-brouvermo\u00eb is ook op die proef gestel asook hul kennis van koffiebone, die lande waar dit geplant en geoes word, verskeie tegnieke om die bone voor te berei vir gebruik \u2013 smaak, geur en kleur; baie soos met wyn proe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dillon s\u00ea hy het glad nie verwag om derde te eindig uit die 34 baie ervare en bevoegde baristas nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n baie intense kompetisie en jy moes behoorlik jou storie ken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dillon s\u00ea hoewel die koffie-kultuur in Katar redelik nuut is, groei dit geweldig en raak dit by die dag meer gewild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea ook koffieliefhebbers daar het baie ho\u00eb standaarde.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
