“The most challenging aspect of Latte Art is to create a precise model that is the fruit of imagination. I love to design, and, therefore, being able to shape my creativity thanks to Storm’s performance is great! Being able to leverage the quality of its dry steam is fundamental for great results!”

Michalis Dimitrakopoulosis a barista at “The Underdog” inAthens, a facility owned by TasosDelichristos,the2008GoodSpiritsChampion, who introduced Michalisto the world of Specialty Coffee.In2016,MichalisbecamethefirstGreekChampionoftheGoodSpiritscompetition, eventually becomingWorld Champion at the ShanghaiHotelex.

“When I feel the scent of coffee for me is the beginning of a game: every time, it is as if I have to discover the real feelings it sends me, so that I can convey them to customers... Every coffee can get better if it is paired with the right kind of spirit. My work is a continuous experiment to find the right balance among all ingredients.”

The Storm coffee machine allowsmaximum temperature control andwater thrust force during coffeemaking. The barista can setparameters manually or use thedigitalfunctions.

“My ideal machine must ensure maximum ergonomics: the Storm model allows me to move smoothly, have the right spaces and have direct visual contact with my guests”

ArnonThitiprasertAustralia

Arnon Thitiprasert beganworking as a barista in Sydney in2007,afterleavinghishometowninsouthernThailand.In2017,hewascrowned the World Champion of theLatte Art World Championships heldin Budapest. He is the founder ofRistr8to, Ristr8to Lab and DoppioRistr8toinChiangMai,Thailand.

“Since I started working as a barista, I have been committed to finding new designs, each single day. This is the fun part! I’ve traveled to more than thirty countries to explore coffee culture in the world: a barista should be familiar with the entire coffee production process. A very low machine allows getting in touch - immediately - with whoever is tasting my coffee!”
