SCRBC - We are back

We had a great time! Clancy and Patrick competed in the competition. Patrick won and Clancy got second. It was really close and they both did great. For those of you who don't know anything about the regional barista competiton, I will try to explain. A Barista is judged on his performance. He must serve four single espresso and four single cappuccinos and four of his signature beverages (which the espresso must be prevelant). They need to complete all of this in 15 min. It is a very rigorous competition. There are a total of 7 judges evaluating the Barista's skills. They judge taste balance, technical skills, presentation, cleanliness, consistentcy, extraction times, and more.

The winner of the regional competition (Patrick Pierce) will go to national to compete for the U.S. Barista Competion. The winner of the U.S. will go onto the World Barista Competition. Clancy will also being go to the U.S. Barista Competition.
