We will be hosting our fourth annual Barista Jam Friday June 25th at 6pm! We enjoy hosting Barista Jams at Roast! Barista Jams are fun ways to get our friends together and learn more about coffee.
Here’s what we do: we talk to some of the most progressive coffee companies in the country and have them send samples of there coffee to us. We brew these coffees to exact specifications and taste ‘em. It’s much like wine tasting, but with coffees. After we get jacked up on a bunch of coffee, we throw $5.00 in a hat and have a Barista Jam. Basically, its where coffee people get to show off their skills. The winner of the Barista Jam gets to take home some money!
If you’ve ever wondered why our coffee is so good, it’s because of events like this.
So, you’re invited to join us! We would love to see you come and participate or just hang out and watch. We’ve also been known to have beer at these events too!
(Did I mention it’s free…doesn’t cost you anything…and you’ll walk away with a greater appreciation for coffee. )
See you June 25th!

i was on anodyne’s website and saw the post and noticed that most of the “progressive” companies you solicited coffee from aren’t local. Aren’t there any local companies you feel have great coffees besides Anodyne? Not that there’s isn’t good but if they’re the best isn’t this the time to show it?

Hello Bruce,
We have not posted about this event on our website, just on our blog. This Jam isn’t about who’s best. We are the house roaster and that’s why we’re contributing coffee. Everybody is going to have a favorite roaster. We are happy that folks like us, but we never claim to be the best. All of us in the coffee industry are always striving to get better and learn more. So if someone claims to be the best, then simply put, they’re not.
