Mountain Regional Barista Competition Comes To NoCO
Che-ch-ch-ch-check check it out.
It is exciting to finally be able to tell you this with all certainty and without breaking any rules.
Barista competitions are fascinating things. Think Iron Chef but with coffee, and with just 15 minutes to prepare a 3-course beverage spread for four judges: an espresso, a cappuccino, and a signature beverage. At the event in Chicago last year, we saw signature beverages made with blue cheese, rootbeer, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, caramelized bananas, and lots of heavy cream. It’s quite a nice time.
This year, the national competition will be held April 15-18 in Anaheim, CA. Leading up to that event are the regional competitions. Colorado baristas participate in the Mountain Regional. This year, that event makes its way our way.
This has us giddy. We’d really like you to be giddy, too…though we understand if you are not. BUT, you should check it out. A lot of Everyday Joe’s folks will be there volunteering and watching and oohing and ahhing. If you need some convincing, watch last year’s national championship winning performance below. Then look forward to watching some nice hearts being poured over Valentine’s Day weekend.
