Candy, Fruit snacks, Pizza, and Beer fueled baristas as they went head to head, bracket style until one winner was reached. Judges from Blue Beard Coffee Roasters, Olympia Coffee Roasters, and a rep from our very own customer service team were present. Each pour was judged on contrast, complexity, and symmetry.

Thanks to everyone who came out to compete. Congratulations to our three winners.

1st place goes to Kyle Doles of Mavam Espresso, 2nd Place goes to Sam Ropes of Metronome Coffee and 3rd place to goes Richelle Parker of the Curb.
