Over the weekend, the US chapter of the Specialty Coffee Association took to the greater Washington DC area to hold the final two Qualifying Events for the 2024 US Coffee Championships: the Brewers Cup and Latte Art took place in Bethesda, MD while the Coffee in Good Spirits took place in DC proper. They join the previous three competitions decided in the Houston Qualifying Event, and now the field for the national round of every competition has been set.

The 42 moving on from this weekend join the 60+ others from a few weeks back for a field of over 100 coffee professionals split across six different disciplines. The winners from the Brewers Cup will be joining those from the Barista Championship and Cup Tasters in Rancho Cucamonga, California next month at Klatch’s Lab and Roastery to determine who will represent the United States at the World Coffee Championships. Erstwhile the winners of the Coffee in Good Spirits and Latte Art competitions will join the Roasters Championship winners to showdown in Chicago in April as part of the SCA Expo.

Here is everyone moving on in the Brewers Cup, Coffee in Good Spirits, and Latte Art Championship from the 2024 Washington DC Qualifying Events.
