WHAT'S 
THE 
DEAL

ACCURACY

Fast is good, but right is better. Speed might get you ahead, but accuracy is what truly wins the game. One wrong slurp and the clock won’t save you—because in the end, it’s the taster who consistently spots the odd cup with precision, that takes the crown. Slow and steady may not always win the race, but sharp and accurate definitely does
