Here comes the problem! What do you need to prepare?

The competition provides firmware such as bean grinder, coffee machine, water resources and so on.

So the rest, if you want to take part in the competition, at least you need to prepare a script that you use to play, with descriptions and concluding remarks of prologue, espresso, espresso, and creative coffee. If you don't need a better manuscript, you're already strong.

A piece of music that lasts about 16 minutes.

The music should not be too noisy or too quiet. It is best to let you compete according to the rhythm of the music and match the three drinks you make. Why 16 minutes? The whole

The game time is 15 minutes. Unfortunately, if you are nervous and time-out, you can still finish the production after the time-out, but you will be deducted 1 point for each second of time-out. If your music is only 15min, then you will be at a standstill beyond this time.

2 > Coffee beans selected in the competition: coffee beans can be selected according to the production period of coffee beans, unique flavor and so on. In fact, as long as you can control and understand your coffee beans and choose what you like, of course, choose the beans and then you need to choose the milk you use to make milk coffee, the choice of milk is very important, it will directly affect the taste and taste of milk coffee. So you might as well use a few more kinds of milk for comparison.

3 > utensils: 5 sets of milk coffee, 6 water cups, 5 sets of concentrated cups, 5 sets of creative coffee cups, 5 sets of calibrated concentrated cups (optional) all these fragile items should be backed up one more set, so as to avoid damage, there is no substitute, and the color had better be consistent.

Extra knowledge: green is the sweetest in psychology, so you need to think about color and then you need 6 to 10 small spoons, napkins, table mats, small trays, big tray powder hammers, powder cartridges, and a profile of your beans (small cards). If possible, you can use your own bean grinder, but it needs to be consistent with the specified model, these are all conventional appliances. More utensils depend on how you need to make your drink.

Contestants can arrange the production order of three drinks according to their own needs and start timing as soon as the scorekeeper is called.
