And in this corner, we have the charming, the disarming, the left-handed tulip pouring current barista champion of KwaZulu-Natal, DIRK MARITZ!
A favourite on the stage, Dirk is a veteran on the competition scene, though he is only 26 years old.
Watch him pour some riveting rosettas and chat about the level of dedication necessary to win this thing! That cheeky grin, it must score him some points ;)
