Hello Everyone- I just posted the BGA Annual Elections to the Barista Guild Site. Make sure to check it out soon as voting ends May 13th!<br />
<br />
If there are any issues, please direct them my way to mboni@scaa.org. I've tested the site about 1000 times so it should be good to go.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />

The BGA is looking for a few good baristas to pull some shots and pour some capps at the booth this year at conference. We are also interested in baristas doing sig drinks if they are interested. We are right by the USBC this year so hope to get quite a bit of attention. If you can donate any time at all please email me at<br />

Are you experimenting with single origin shots? Got a new blend to try out? Whether it's reddish-brown liquid nirvana or you think you just threw up in your mouth a little bit, the BGA wants to hear all about it.<br />

My personal favorite SO espresso was a Sumatra Garuda that PT's had a few years back. Ever tried Intelligentsia's <a href="http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/wares/misc/candybar">Espresso Chocolate bar</a>? It was pretty much like sipping that. Excellent semi-sweet chocolatey…

My personal favorite SO espresso was a Sumatra Garuda that PT's had a few years back. Ever tried Intelligentsia's <a href="http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/wares/misc/candybar">Espresso Chocolate bar</a>? It was pretty much like sipping that. Excellent semi-sweet chocolatey sweetness, very full body and just enough acidity to make it through a few ounces of milk. I almost took it into competition as-was. It was that good. I'm not a card-carrying membertag:www.baristaexchange.com,2008-03-10:1688216:Topic:582582008-03-10T17:14:53.627ZJoe Stormerhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/JoeStormer
I'm not a card-carrying member, but I'm considering it. But first I would like to simply ask in the most respectful manner: why? I would gladly join a guild which is the unified, powerful voice of barista labor; but there is no organization in America that represents the collective bargaining power which would vie for fair wages and treatment of baristas in the industry.<br />

<br />
Other than providing a much-needed sense of community, what is the role of the Barista Guild in the SCAA? What opportunities for involvement - besides regional jams - are available to members of the Guild?<br />
<br />
I am also very interested in access to the research library. How extensive is the selection of publications available?
