Congrats Kyle Glanville: U.S. Barista Champion
At Everyday Joe’s, we brew the beans roasted by THE Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea out of Chicago.This past weekend, the United States Barista Championships took place in Minneapolis. Two baristas from Intelligentsia competed in the final 6, with Kyle Glanville from Intelligentsia’s L.A. office taking all the marbles. Word to his unborn child.
You can watch Kyle’s performance in the finals below. The coffee he serves to kick it off (El Salvador Matalapa) is the same bean we carried in the shop this week. So, if you come in and get a cup you can pretend you were in Minneapolis, cheering Kyle on to his place upon the throne of awesomeness.
