The 2020 US Coffee Championships Qualifying Rounds is off the terrific start here at Dillanos Coffee in Sumner, Washington. Half of the national field will be decided this weekend at the first of the two Qualifying Events (the second happening next month in Nashville).
20 baristas competed on Day One and Sprudge was on deck to capture every single one with Lead Photographer Elizabeth Chai and roving social media reporter Joshua Littlefield. Take a glimpse at all of the competitors from Day One here in Sumner.
