Thanks for all of the kind words.
I hosted the barista jam to promote openness among Columbus coffee baristas, increase consumer awareness of specialty coffee, and encourage the hosting of more jams. I decided to put the jam together quickly so that it would happen rather than wither in the planning stages. I apologize to anyone that was not invited personally, feel free to contact me if you would like to be notified of future events and you will be. I am also happy to take suggestions for future jams I can make suggestions known to future hosts.
I've updated a web site with links to some great photos by George Faerber and Tim Albon. Kevin Cash won the latte art contest by earning 100% of the 1st place votes see it get poured here: Columbus Barista Jam. Jeff Davis is considering a jam in September so pressure him the next time you are in Cafe Brioso.
