Natasha works as an operations manager who looks after a number of BM sites across the south-east. The prize includes a visit to BM’s partner roastery in Denmark and a Sage expresso machine for her home.
Natasha said: "I can't actually believe it. It has been an incredible experience and brilliant for all of us to get together and learn. I've picked up so much knowledge just by being part of this process so I'd always urge people to get involved in things like this. For me, it's all about learning and I'm grateful that this is something that is so important to BM."
The six finalists were tasked with delivering 12 drinks in just 15 minutes. The second round was a step up with the addition of two single shot-based signature drinks, totalling six beverages in 10 minutes. The other finalists were Dominic Perry, Sandor Kovacs, Bryan Calixto, Csilla Kelecz and Nikki Napdor.
Miguel Camara, head of coffee & tea from BM, added: “It's incredible to be able to get back to these events after recent difficult times. The most astonishing thing to me was the quality and the calibre of the competitors this year. Our coffee is in good hands.”
