Event Description

Baristas from the surrounding states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, will converge to take part in a competition designed to encourage and recognize the art of espresso preparation and service. Competitors will serve up to 12 drinks in a 15-minute period in front of a panel of seven judges. Four espressos, four cappuccinos and four beverages of their own creations will be critiqued. Judges will evaluate each Barista on their technical skill; the flavor and quality of their espresso; the taste, creativity and appearance of their drinks, and on their presentation/customer service skills. The winner will automatically advance to the Semi-Finals Round at the United States Barista Championship held in Portland, Ore., in March 2009.

The Competition is a free event will be held at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on Friday, February 20 through Sunday, February 22 and is open to the public.
