Gimme Visits Boston!
By
This weekend a few of us are headed down to Boston to cheer on Gimme barista Liz Clark in the the North East Regional Barista Competition. She's been hard at work in the lab for months and is ready to get up on stage and share her love of coffee. She's been playing with our Guatemala Santa Elena and is getting delicious shots from it. This coffee also yields the sweetest cappuccinos I have ever had, and I drink a lot of cappuccinos.
If you are in the Boston area and would like to come show support, this event is open to the public every day! The preliminary rounds of the barista competition run Friday and Saturday from 11am-5:30pm and the top six baristas of the weekend will perform again on Sunday from 10:30am to 1pm. This event is being held at the Summerville Center for The Arts at The Armory. Barista competitions are very fun to watch, and there will be free coffee drinks available all day each day.

Free coffee? That's right. Several of the very best roasters in the region will be taking turns serving and talking coffee on a pour over bar and an espresso machine. Come prepared to get caffeinated and learn a little more about the beverage you drink everyday. Gimme folks will be brewing up our best on the pour over bar from 11:30 - 2:30, and we will be pulling shots and serving espresso based drinks from 3:30 - 5:30 on Friday. Stop on by, say hello, drink some brew and watch some of the best baristas in the region go head to head for a chance at the nationals in California.
