    A Storm’s brewing

    Apr 14, 2018 5 minutes

    The start to the Astoria Storm release video mimics that of any major motion picture: background music, landscape pan and slow motion movements of its star protagonists: 2017 World Latte Art Champion (WLAC) Arnon Thitiprasert, 2015 WLAC Champion Caleb Cha, and 2016 World Coffee in Good Spirits Champion Michalis Dimitrakopoulos. These champion baristas from three different walks of life use three different modes of transport to get to their destination: Caleb rides a bike, Arnon walks with his headphones on, and Michalis drives a yellow Fiat.

    The baristas meet in Trieste, which has been the main Italian trading port for coffee for the past two centuries. They greet each other and fanboy over the Astoria steam machine. In true trailer fashion, it leaves you wanting more.
