Stuart Archer who works at Pumphrey’s Coffee House in Blaydon finished second but will now have to wait to see if he makes the semi-finals.

Baristas from as far afield as Kendal were put through their paces.

They had 15 minutes to impress a team of judges by serving up espressos, cappuccinos and their own signature espresso.
