Voting is now open 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. In the run-up to the awards we’ll be highlighting nominees from select categories, kicking things off yesterday with a feature on Best New Cafe. 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 us 😂 and 🤔 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.]
Let’s meet this year’s nominees!

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