I met Maxwell in 2012 during the UK Barista Championship, he owned a cafe in Bath, Colonna & Small's at the time.

I had heard a lot about it... This man who would have the audacity to recommend people not have milk with a certain coffee or to drink it a certain way!! Who was this man?!

Well... This man, Maxwell went on to win the UK Barista Championship that year and then won it again another twice over the next 3 years. He was a 3 time World Barista Championship Finalist and has gone on to completely change the world of coffee, not only in his role as an organiser in the competitions, but through writing his book on water and now The Coffee Dictionary... He has a roastery that is expanding at this very moment and also has developed Colonna Coffee and started a premium trend of beautiful coffee in capsules.

Thank you again To Maxwell for his time and sharing his knowledge and story. it was an honour!
