CoffeeWars 4: Awards Speech
CoffeeWars this year was an amazing success. Many people
contributed, and we'll do our best to credit them all on
the web site, once the write-up is complete. For the moment,
we want to recognize two contributions, without which things
would have been much lamer:
- The DefCon Staff, for letting us be an official
event this year.
- The Alexis Park Staff, for once again being
helpful beyond the call of duty
And now, on to business. Our 7 judges sampled 18 entries:
3 GALLONS of coffee! We actually were so overwhelmed by the
turnout that we had to decline about 10 submissions. Maybe
we'll have to be a 2-day event next year.
We will post far more complete results on the web, but for
now, based on aroma, taste, and several other highly technical
criteria:
- The runner-up, and clear winner of the bang-for-the-buck
category: Ground Zero Papua New Guinea, entered
by Sweetypig.
- And the winner of the valuable prize donated by Dr. Vann
Harl, by a wide margin, at $29/lb, Jamaican Peaberry,
entered by Hook
Thanks again to all contestants, staff, and everyone else
who helped out.
