Big news today from our partners at the World AeroPress Championship, with major implications for our readers in the United States. Today WAC has announced a series of regional AeroPress events happening across the United States, with dates set for Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, and New York City. These events will feed into a massive national U.S. AeroPress Championship event, held in conjunction with the SCAA Expo in Atlanta, Georgia.
Event hosts include G&B Coffee in Los Angeles (March 11th), Variety Coffee in New York City (March 17th), Heart Roasters in Portland (March 25th), and Everybody’s Coffee in Chicago (February 27th). The national championship event will happen in Atlanta on Saturday, April 16th at Chatahoochie Coffee, with the winner moving on to compete in June at the World AeroPress Championship in Dublin, Ireland.
First place winners at each regional will receive a free flight to Atlanta to compete in the national event. 2nd and 3rd place regional finishers will be guaranteed a place at the national event. Let’s learn more about each regional, and gaze together upon their excellent posters.
