Downtown LA Barista Throwdown and Tasting Event

Monday, December 12th, 8pm

Demitasse
135 S. San Pedro Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012

RSVP via Facebook Invite

Who'll be there? LA's talented baristas judged by well-known local coffee media... And, the coffee-loving public!

In addition to the throwdown, baristas are encouraged to use the 2nd spro machine and brew up some of your original drinks for the thirsty masses (for the tasting session)!! Simply contact Bobby Roshan (broshan@cafedemitasse.com), and ask for a 30-min time slot, and the bar will be yours for that time.

This event is brought to you by the fine peeps at Demitasse and Handsome Coffee Roasters!
