A huge thank you to @ifillcup for hosting the U.S. Coffee Roasting Qualifiers and helping us create a space where competitors could truly thrive.

From the very beginning, the iFill team was hands-on and dedicated to making the competition experience the best it could be. Their attention to the competitors, the space, and every detail that went into bringing the event to life made such a difference.

It was also an honor to present iFill Systems with the Community Builder of the Year Award in recognition of their dedication to supporting and growing the coffee community.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside a team that cares so deeply about creating meaningful spaces for coffee professionals.

Thank you, @ifillcup , for being such an important part of the 2027 USCC season! by @sca_us

It was such a great way to step away from the competition, slow down, and come together over some truly exceptional coffees.

A special thank you to @a1quality @eliocoffee_ and @ghostroasters @muacoffeecompany for helping us bring this showcase to life. We’re grateful for your time and passion for sharing these coffees with the community.

What a way to kick off the 2027 USCC Season!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Beyond the Cup Mixer and helped make it such a special evening. From competitors to coffee lovers, it was incredible to bring so many members of our community together under one roof.

As we head into a new season of competition, nights like these are a great reminder that the USCC is about so much more than what happens on the competition floor.

It was an absolute honor to present @owl_coffeeroasters with our Community Builder of the Year Award.

As the 2026 US Coffee Championships Media Sponsor, O.W.L played a vital role in helping us share these competitions with a wider audience. Their support made the U.S. Coffee Championships more accessible digitally, bringing greater awareness to the competitors, judges, volunteers, and the incredible amount of work that goes into every championship.

What makes this recognition even more meaningful is the way they showed up for the community beyond sponsorship. During the 2026 U.S. Barista Championship, O.W.L opened their doors to welcome young baristas, creating opportunities for the next generation to experience and get involved.

Thank you, @owl_coffeeroasters , for your partnership, your generosity, and your commitment to growing the coffee community. We are grateful to have you as part of the journey. by @sca_us
