]]> Greg Lefcourt Greg Lefcourt, of Boulder, Colorado roasters Ozo Coffee Company is the winner of this year’s Mountain Regional Barista Championship. Taking a weekend off from such traditional Boulder activities as hacky-sack, bong rips, and Dave Matthews Band listening parties, Greg journeyed to Loveland, CO to conquer the MRBC for the 2nd consecutive year. Much like their proud mountain predecessors, this year’s runners-up were abandoned to their own devices and left to wilder in impassably snowy mountain climes, where they presumably devoured each other’s innards as a means of survival. Good luck next year, gang!

2nd Place: Jessica Brooks, Allegro Coffee, Thornton, CO

3rd Place: Ian Marquez, Off the Leaf Coffee Bar, Billings, MT

Yiching Piquet, Cafe D’Bolla
