If you were at Coffee Fest Chicago, you probably already know. Roast Coffee Company is holding a Barista Jam Friday, March 6th at 6:00pm. This will be THE alternative to the USBC. We'll be streaming the USBC live in the café.

Schedule of events includes:

5:30pm – Meet and greet

6:00pm – Coffee Cupping with coffees from: 49th Parallel, Anodyne Coffee Roasters, Johnson Brothers, Novo Coffee, Ritual, and Victrola.

6:30pm – Home Coffee Brewing Seminar

7:30pm – Latte Art Throwdown

If it all works, we will have two La Marzocco's side-by-side….one 2 group Linea and one 3 group FB-70. It will be head-to-head competition, with a losers bracket on the second machine. Five-dollar buy in and, depending how many people show, cash prize for first, second, and third place. Our friend, Terry Z of espressoparts.com, has graciously donated a custom tamper for the winner!

Barista Magazine is sending over some issues and perhaps some T-shirts.

Check out the newest issue of Barista Magazine (page 22) for a write-up on the jam. We will also have information on our website so keep an eye out there. We will also have T-shirts for sale at the event printed by Ink Designs. There is a picture of the shirt so if anyone wants one, please e-mail me and we'll put the order in.

Hope to see everyone there!
