Crush the Rush 2 - San Francisco

SEE EVENT DETAILS
We are excited to announce, Crush the Rush 2 - San Francisco. This year we are expanding the competition to 20 teams instead of the 8 from last year in order to allow more baristas to participate. The 20 teams will compete during the day in Time Trials with the top 8 teams moving on to the finals. There will also be a series of Learning Sessions for attendees that will focus on ergonomics, bar flow and the latest in coffee research and technology.
All of this will conclude in the Crush the Rush Finals, bringing back the bracketed competition from last year along with new side work challenges and a summer fun soundtrack to dance along with.
