2022 U.S. Coffee Championships Registration Update
Dear U.S. Competitions Community,
We are very excited to announce an update on how to register to participate in what is sure to be three days of extraordinary U.S. Coffee Championships!
U.S. Cup Tasters, U.S. Coffee in Good Spirits, and U.S. Roaster will compete alongside U.S. Barista, U.S. Brewers Cup and U.S. Latte Art Championships in the 2022 U.S. Coffee Championships at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, MA, April 8-10, 2022.
USCC will bring a caffeine-packed weekend happening inside the Activities Hall at this year’s Expo. Coffee professionals from all over the United States compete to enhance and show off their skills as Baristas, Brewers, Barkeeps, Roasters, Tasters and Latte Artists.
Because this season will feel slightly different than seasons past, we feel it is important to update our community on the 2022 registration process for all competitions.
