BACK TO WORK

What a whirlwind.  It feels amazing to feel back!  The pressure and anxiety that goes along with the competition is not easy, but man it is gratifying that our hard work paid off.  The 2nd place finish in competition has given me a lot of confidence that what we are doing in our shop, and what the guys at Barismo are doing is really quite something.  I will post a home-video of the performance in due time, along with many more photographs.  The USBC competition is in Portland, Oregon, from March 5-8.  I'm already registered.  

I wanted to extend a special thank you to my good friends, Lex and Jamie, for making the trip to competition and for helping out every step along the way!  You're both extraordinary people!  

By the way, there is an online poll for "who makes the best coffee in town."  If you think we do, drop us a vote by clicking here.

Finally, if you're interested, here is a list of the regional finalists scores heading into the USBC.
