Welcome to a bite-sized episode of The Coffee Sprudgecast, taped in the hazy days after the 2017 US Barista Championship and SCA Global Coffee Expo. Special Correspondent Liz Chai (@chaiamericano) sat down with Onyx Coffee Lab Barista Trainer and 2017 US Brewers Cup Champion Dylan Siemens in a cozy cafe in Portland, Oregon. Think of this week’s show as a follow-up to Liz Chai’s reporting from the US Coffee Champs showfloor in Episode 41, in which Chai interviewed a competition judge (Mallory Lecht), volunteer (Sara Frinak), competitor (Talya Strader of Equator Coffees) and coach (Matthew Jung-Quillen).
