Waiting to once again be in the foreground as the official sponsor of the finals of the World Latte Art Championship and the World Coffee in Good Spirits Championship, Astoria took part in electing the New Zealand Champion of Latte Art that was held last weekend during the final of the Meadow Fresh NZ Latte Art Championship 2016 in Wellington.

Thanks to Astoria’s collaboration with its IncaFè distributor, the participants were able to count on nothing less than the Astoria Plus4Champions as their super-support in challenging each other in the preparation of 6 decorated cappuccinos in just 10 minutes. Besides winning a white Greta Bianca, the absolutely new compact machine branded Astoria, the winner and talented barman Calvin Ko, will be representing New Zealand in Shanghai.

CMA Astoria’s Export Manager Flavio Urizzi, in presenting the machines at the event, also dwelt on the coffee market in New Zealand, referring to it as a very sophisticated, continuously evolving market, thanks to constant experimentation with new coffee blends. A market as important as the one back in Italy.
