Midwest baby. Great job all and you've represented well, especially on SUCH SHORT NOTICE. Most people don't know how fast you had to prepare, so I give you mad props for that. Congrats to all and all of you that thought about competing and didn't, please give it a try next year or make it to the event (which I didn't this year). If anything, it's a great way to support the barista profession and the roasters they work with. Plus, it's amazing to watch. One of the few ways where beverage is…

If anything, it's a great way to support the barista profession and the roasters they work with. Plus, it's amazing to watch. One of the few ways where beverage is crossing over into foodie world (in my opinion) as the sig drinks are amazingly put together these days. Net-net...well done. What an amazing finals.

What an amazing finals. PT's vs Kaldi's. Congrats to Mike M from winning, Robin Seitz from PT's (with love) for second, Morgan Smith from PT's third place, and Micah Svejda from Kaldi's, Joe Marrocco from Kaldi's and Kasey Klimes from PT's for making it to the finals.<br />

The Mid-West has been represented very well and everyone who competed (I watched all y'all on ustream) should be very proud. The way the regionals have been shaping up this year, I expect to see a lot of greatness in California…

I wanted to go SO BAD, but I didn't find out about it til Friday afternoon. I live in N W Arkansas, about 6 hrs. from St. Louis, so it was kinda within reach, but not really. Anyway, is Arkansas in the MWRBC, or are we not even counted at all? Are we forgotten even by the forgotten?! LOL. I'll follow the link above and get on the mailing list. Anyway, hope everyone had a blast, and I look forward to going next year.
