The US Coffee Championships<\/a> kick off in just a little over a month from now in Denver, but if you can\u2019t wait that long (and you live in or are willing to travel to Florida), then you can get a little coffee competition fix this Saturday, October 27th, with the inaugural Florida Brewers Cup. Taking place at Deeply Coffee Company<\/a> in Orlando, the Florida Brews Cup is taking the competition experience but removing many of the barriers of entry.<\/p>\n Following the format of the preliminary round of the US Brewers Cup, the Florida Brewers Cup wants to replicate the competitive spirit\u2014even down to the two sensory judges and one head judge\u2014but in a friendlier environment in hopes that the event will be \u201caccessible for anyone with a desire to be involved,\u201d per an email sent to Sprudge.<\/p>\n The hosts of the Florida Brewers Cup, Deeply Coffee, also hope the event will \u201cbring positive exposure and competitiveness to the rising coffee scene of Florida as a whole.\u201d For the inaugural event, 12 cafes and roasters from around Florida will send a competitor, who will have eight minutes to \u201c[represent] their\u00a0company’s identity in Florida.\u201d The coffee companies fielding competitors are: Bandit Coffee Co<\/a>, Bold Bean Coffee Roasters<\/a>, Foundation Coffee Co<\/a>, Jacq & Jack<\/a>, Lineage Coffee Roasters<\/a>, Ligature Coffee<\/a>, Oceana Coffee<\/a>, Deeply Coffee, LPCX<\/a>, Craft Kafe<\/a>, Craft & Common<\/a>, and King State Coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n The winner will be crowned the Florida Brewers Cup champion, holder of a year\u2019s worth of bragging rites over fellow Floridian baristas.<\/p>\n For anyone looking to take in the sights and sounds of coffee competition, the Florida Brewers Cup is free to attend. It all gets started at 4:00pm this Saturday at Deeply Coffee Company in Orlando.
