Louise Leggett from the city’s Little Legs Play Cafe put her years of careful practice and fast-paced cafe service into action yesterday. It was a gruelling, but rewarding, effort. Like each of her competitors, she vied to present the perfect espresso, cappuccino and signature beverage to a panel of five expert judges from around the state. Her trademark hazelnut-infused espresso was inspired by her trip to the Melbourne International Coffee Expo last year, at which she sampled a particularly nutty-flavoured coffee blend. “When I tasted it, I was frozen in time,” she said. “I didn’t know coffee could taste that good.” The competition was hosted by Total Coffee owner Adan Tully in his business’s Wylie St premises. He said each contestant was similarly passionate about serving the perfect blend and grind.
