It is my pleasure to announce that the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Barista Jam (Formerly "Beasts of the East") will be held March 5-7, 2008 at the Bank Street Annex in beautiful, historic Easton, PA! Building on last year's success, this year's jam will include some new things.
-Wednesday evening registration and reception featuring food/coffee pairings. - 'Spro-Down, Espresso extraction competition. (Entry fees to benefit Bikes to Rwanda.) - Latte Art Throwdown (Entry fees to benefit Bikes to Rwanda.) - Two jam sessions open to the public, where jam participants will make drinks for the public, donations to benefit Bikes to Rwanda.
This is in addition to the seven educational sessions and five jam sessions. There will also be a barista party on the Thursday evening of the event, at which the Latte Art Throwdown will take place, and there will be FREE beer!!!!! We are assembling an All-Star cast of presenters. If you are interested in presenting, or sponsoring, please feel free to contact me. Additional information for attendees will be available shortly.

Ooops...sorry for the posting delay. There will be educational sessions on sustainability/fair trade, origins of coffee, espresso extraction, milk frothing, coffee cupping, and "Comprting in a Barista Competition." Additionally there will be ample "jam" time to practice what you're learning in the ed sessions. If you want any direct information, email me at troy@cosmiccupcoffee.com.
