We had the esteemed pleasure to have Cortney Kern - Barista Maniac - as our guest on this show. Cortney has been working up a storm in the specialty coffee field with impeccable coffee tasting and descriptive skills. Following his work at Coffeefest St Louis earlier this year, Cortney was invited to Coffeefest Portland, where he mentored judges for the America's Best Espresso competition (and himself judged as well). We chatted about his experiences, his skills tasting coffee, and other delightful coffee things.
