Final pours of the evening and a face off of two semi-champions will shortly reveal one winner.
A very special thank you to everyone who came out to pour and support the #SlayerTNT at Coastal Kitchen. We got to mingle with restaurant guests, compete and give away hourly door prizes to our mixed audience of eaters, drinkers and passers by.
There’s a new and wonderful movement happening in non-coffee bars as the focus shifts to a quality coffee program. Not only are they choosing to purchase phenomenal brewing equipment, they are additionally supporting with in depth coffee preparation training. If you find yourself in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, pop into Coastal Kitchen for an exceptional brunch and coffee.
