The end of April brought us two of the biggest events in the world of coffee all rolled into one: The Specialty Coffee Association of America Exposition and the World Barista Championship. We were lucky enough to host these two events at the World Congress Center here in Atlanta. This year also marked the World Barista Championship's 10th anniversary, at which Gwilym Davies of the UK was the winner.
The SCAA Expo was a huge 3-day event that brought in vendors ranging from coffee producers and roasters, to companies providing complementary products to coffee such as specialty food & beverage products, to companies providing equipment relating to commercial production of coffee, all under the same roof. The volume and diversity of vendors at the booths was truly mind-blowing, and the number of attendees demonstrated how vital and rich the world of specialty and gourmet coffee has become in the United States.
