For those of you in the coffee community heading down to DC for CoffeeFest, here is the competition schedule for the MARBCs (click to enlarge):
Finalists are not announced until after the Saturday rounds are completed.
The Millrock Latte Art Competition will also be taking place. John goes Saturday morning.
For what it's worth, there are no Philly shops in the competition this year. It's Pittsburgh (7) and Easton (1) for Pennsylvania dominance. There are also baristas from Mullica Hill NJ (2), Towson MD (1), Annapolis MD (3) and Washington DC (11).
Go team! :) Good thing I'm a chai drinker, it sounds like the good coffee won't be in Pittsburgh this weekend!

Go team!
Lauren (resident latte art master) and Frank are staying here to make sure no one goes with out black cat in Mt leb.
It really amazes (confuses?) me that pittsburgh can put forth this much talent to compete and still have enough Top notch barista to stay behind and tow the rope!

Thanks for the kind comments but there's still plenty of great coffee in Pittsburgh to be had. Y'all know where else to go - the list is on the left (and Cuppy's if Sean is on...)
Speaking of Sean... sorry to hear you won't be heading down to DC. wanna work here Monday morning? lol
We are lucky to have alumni... Candace will be doing shifts Fri/Sat/Sun taking a short break from studies.
