The SCAE Awards for Coffee Excellence

  „As a long-time volunteer for the Specialty Coffee Association of America's committees and board, Jeff has also been very active in the proliferation of barista competitions in the United States. He sponsored and hosted the first SCAA sanctioned Barista Jam in Seattle in February, 2003, and plans to host another in the coming months. As any of us who are active in the promotion of specialty coffee excellence knows, financial gain is not a factor in our participation. But Jeff, who continues to stretch his own budget in order to sponsor such vents as the Barista Jam, the first ever Barista Guild party, held at Coffee Fest Seattle in October, 2003, as well as making funds available to send his baristas to origin and encourage them to volunteer with such groups as a local organization that teaches barista skills to underprivileged youths, has a passion and commitment to barista excellence that is beyond comparison in the United States.“
