We\u2019re still in the afterglow of the 2019 coffee competition season and it\u2019s already time to turn our attention to 2020 with today\u2019s announcement of the host locations for the US Coffee Champs preliminary rounds<\/a>. 12 in total, the prelims take place all across the country between late July and early October, and for the first time all five coffee competitions are represented, each at no less than four host locations.<\/p>\n Organized and hosted by local communities, each of the host events offer coffee professionals a chance to take part in competition while keeping a relatively low barrier to entry. For each event, competition necessities are being provided by the hosts, including coffee, equipment, wares, the required alcohol (for Coffee in Good Sprits), green coffee (for Roasters), and even a small selection of brewing devices. Competitors are allowed to bring their own grinders and serving ware if they so please, but it is not required.<\/p>\n The dates, host cities, and competitions are:<\/p>\n July 26: Honolulu, HI<\/strong> \u2014 Barista Championship, Brewers Cup Competitor registration opens on July 1st.
