Not to be outdone, Day Two will see a total of 30 competitors taking the stage at the US Barista Championship Qualifying Event in Knoxville, Tennessee, one more than in Day One. And after that, it’ll all be over. We’ll know the first 18 baristas to make it to nationals happening in April in Seattle. They will be joined by an additional 18 competitors from the second Qualifying Event next month in Austin.
But today is about these 30. Here is a schedule of competitors for Day Two of the US Barista Championship Qualifying Event in Knoxville.
