Our Asheville, NC Regional Training Center
Because Mary is attending the 2010 Southeast Regional Barista Competition in Atlanta this weekend, there will not be a cupping in our Asheville Training Center Friday, February 19. Regular coffee cuppings will resume next week. Thanks!
And, btw, the South East Regional Barista Competition will be streamed live at usbaristachampionship.org starting Friday at 11 a.m.
The 2010 Southeast Regional Barista Competition will be held February 19-21, in Atlanta. The 2010 SERBC will be hosted once again by Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters and Everything Coffee & Tea, Inc!
Our Atlanta Regional Training Center is in the King Plow Arts Center, the same building as the main event, and we welcome attendees and competitors and coffee fans to stop by to practice or hang out and talk coffee.

The cupping on Friday January 29th will be cancelled. Please join us Friday February 5th at 10:00am for our next cupping.
Thanks to everyone who made last night’s Haiti Relief TNT a success. Due to the efforts of The Dripolator Asheville, Counter Culture Coffee, Asheville community baristas, judges, and customers alike, $200.00 was collected to be donated to Partners in Health.
Thanks Everyone!!!
All cash from tonight’s TNT will go to Partners in Health’s Haiti relief. http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti . Come by and throw down, or just drop in to support your favorite barista.
I will be traveling to Charlotte next week (11.13) to participate in the South East Regional Jam. Normal cupping schedule will resume the following week.
The weather here in Asheville has been so beautiful that I have been trying to think creatively when scheduling appointments. Case in point…Scott (from the new downtown Dripolator) agreed to meet me at the Asheville Botanical Gardens in order to take the written portion of his Counter Culture Coffee Barista Certification.
He passed (of course) and is well on his way to becoming the first Counter Culture Certified Barista in the Asheville area!
Information on the Counter Culture Certified Barista Program can be found here.
