The Australian Baristaroos again will keep the trophy for this years Da Vinci Trans Tasman Cup. The Aussie team of David Makin, Zoe Delany, Con Harranbonopulos and Justin Metcalf show their amazing talents against the New Zealand Team. The Cafetto Black Cups led by Carl Sara were also finely tuned for this final leg of the series cutting huge time off their previous heats.

shh Andrew, I was going to say how happy I was to hear that they won (mind you I got the txt at 4.30am!!!) but then I thought I should act like a good kiwi girl. Really, I don't mind who wins, just as long as there is good coffee produced!

Aussie team manage to finish 30 coffee in 7.20 minute NZ team finish 30 coffee in 7.45 minute.
We think that time is still the issue here... but.... have you seem people finishing 30 coffee in 8 minutes with arts on them and still all taste relatively good?? I just have... and both team are equally good. we will just have to Try harder next time.
