2019 US Coffee Champs Nashville Competitor Schedule, Day Two

The action gets ratcheted up a notch for Day Two of the US Coffee Championships, with no fewer than five finalists as well as two champions taking the stage. Every single event, even the inaugural Coffee in Good Spirits, has at least one national-level finalist competing in Day Two. And to make things even more interesting the two champions—Onyx Coffee Lab’s Dylan Siemens and Black Oak Coffee’s Steve Cuevas—are competing in events different than the one in which they took home their titles (the Barista Championship instead of the Brewers Cup for Siemens, and the Roasters Championship instead of Cup Tasters for Cuevas).

Indeed, there is a lot intrigue to be found in the 100 or so names in the Day Two competition schedule with much still left to be settled. It’s going to be an exciting nine hours, to say the least. How many of these names will we see again in Kansas City later in March for the US Coffee Championships? Only time will tell. But for now, let’s familiarize ourselves with the competitors.
