WHAT DOES BCC DO?
BCC is a regional organization that unites the coffee communities of Baltimore and Maryland
We create pop-up environments and share resources to
support and engage coffee lovers at work and beyond
We lead dynamic collaborations with the area's unique
coffee producers, baristas, importers, enthusiasts, and more
#firstfriday Latte Art Throwdowns are our most popular series
We co-host with different cafes around Baltimore on most* 1st Fridays
* break in Jan/Feb - may skip July or September due to holidays
What are "throwdowns?"
Latte art throwdowns are single-elimination bracket tournaments (like March Madness)
Baristas across the world compete for prizes, opportunities, and clout
Pours are judged on design, symmetry, contrast, complexity, control, and more
Our BCC throwdowns are usually 8-16 baristas.
Bmore, DMV, and more.
Always #firstfriday.
1-hr open practice for all 6-7pm.
Buy-ins donated to nonprofits and local organizations.
