That year, Piyapat Lapteerawut, a veteran latte artist who goes by the nickname Flook, won the competition. The next year, he won again. In 2024, however, Flook finished second, ending his streak and leaving him wondering about his future in the competition.

In the ensuing years, Kay has been a mainstay of competition, and a reliable entrant into the USBC finals—before 2025, he had competed in five seasons and reached three USBC finals.

When Justin Bull set out to compete in the Brewers Cup event in the U.S. Coffee Championships in 2023, he wanted to represent not just Helm Coffee—the roasting company where he works as lead roaster—but also the tight-knit Indianapolis coffee community. His initial Brewers Cup run was successful, as he placed well enough in the qualifier to earn his way to nationals, where he placed ninth at the 2023 U.S. Brewers Cup.

Diego Guartan never expected to take part in coffee competitions. In spring 2024, Diego was working at his job as head roaster at Chicago’s Big Shoulders Coffee when he encountered Eduardo Choza, who was in town for the U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship. Eduardo had asked Big Shoulders co-owner Tim Coonan if he could practice on the company’s Stronghold S7 machine—the same roaster used at the national competition—in advance of the event.
