00:00 I was living in England when I first heard about a world barista championship

00:05 and I thought that would be fun to film. My plan was to follow Maxwell, the

00:09 English barista champion, through the world championship in Vienna and then I

00:14 would be done. This is a story about how things don't always work out as planned.

00:21 Maxwell and Leslie's coffee shop is in Bath, England. It's a destination for

00:27 coffee pilgrims who travel to Bath just to drink their coffee. I took my son

00:32 Harry along with me to Bath to help record sound and I discovered he had a

00:45 Ok, I'm definitely not going to start.

00:47 Not that one, let's forget about that one. Or the top one, sort of apple-y to start with, but it's a bit heavy.

01:11 Yeah, I'll have those up tomorrow, those flaming oats.

01:13 This documentary is going to be about coffee. It's going to be about specialty coffee.

01:19 It's something that people do because, you know, they want to have an ultimate tasty experience.

01:25 And that's why it's called specialty coffee.

01:28 This is who can make the best cup of coffee.
