Voting is now openย for the Ninth Annual Sprudgie Awards, a very special awards honorific procedure meant to provide distinction, recognition, cachet and kudos to coffee professionals across a dozen categories. Voting ends December 31st, 2017 at 11:59 PM.ย In the run-up to the awards we’ll be highlighting nominees from select categories, kicking things off yesterday with a feature onย Best New Cafe.ย Today’s feature highlights our noms for the Best Coffee Instagram or Twitter account.
What’s in a Tweet? And if a ‘Gram is geotagged in a forest, will there be anyone around to fave? This year’s nominees for Best Coffee Instagram or Twitter made usย ๐ย andย ๐คย in equal measure, delighting and astounding us with their dazzling array of artful photography, memetic chicanery, and evocative use of hashtags. In this, our first year of awarding a Sprudgie for Best Coffee Instagram or Twitter, we celebrate those who make social media at least marginally less awful on a daily basis. [Please note there is no award for Best Coffee Facebook, because nothing good happens there.]
Letโs meet this yearโs nominees!

My phone auto-corrects the capitalization of Coffee but not god, so now you know where I stand on religion.
