This is the Round One schedule for the 2016 United States Barista Championship, happening on Friday, April 15th in Atlanta, Georgia. This is the “at large” opening round of the USBC, with the top six competitors advancing to the Semi-Finals on Saturday, where they will meet the 12 winners from the Regional Qualifier that took place in Kansas City, Missouri earlier this year. Of those 18, six will go on to compete in the Finals on Sunday.
Our 2016 US Barista Championship coverage on Sprudge Live is supported by KitchenAid Craft Coffee Brewers, Nuova Simonelli, and Urnex Brands.
