Over at the LA Times blog, Deborah Netburn writes of her experience of Day 1 of the competition. She refers to Intelli’s Nick Griffith as the “front runner”.
I just shared this news with Nick who is aware of the expectations swirling around but tells me:
“I don’t care if I win or not, I just want to show the coffee in its best light.”
Moments later adding quietly and with a smile
“I shouldn’t say I don’t care about winning – I do care about winning.”
As he walked away I think I said “can I quote you on that?” but I’m not sure he heard me.
