Coffee Fest’s Second Espresso Winner of 2017

June 9th, in Chicago was the second of 3 espresso competitions Coffee Fest will hold this year. Pilcrow Coffee Roasters was the winner of the America’s Best Espresso title.

Here is the official bracket.

Here is a post on Facebook about it.

Pilcrow offers wholesale, subscription, and individual bags for sale on their site, but I can’t find any info on what espresso they won with. I sent them an instant message through their Facebook profile. Their Twitter is pretty dead.

Pilcrow responded!

Second place was Windmill Coffee Roasters. Their site is for contact info only. They seem to be only on Instagram and only wholesalers.

A recent trip to @cafeimports put us on top of a whole lot of coffee. Happy to see our coffee friends in Seattle this weekend! 👋🏼
