Notice, Jesse from the Mountain Region snuck in there with his score from their preliminary round…
Thanks for this list. If it’s readily available, I think it’d be great to also see where each of these folks hails from (not that I can’t find it in other ways). From a consumer/outside-the-coffee-world perspective, this kind of list is a great way to seek out places that do coffee particularly well.
Consider it done.
hey Ryan, do you have last years list on hand? I’d be curious to see how those high scores measured up against the top 20 at the USBC.
Sweet. Thanks.
