The Champ is in the house! 2019 U.S. Barista Champion, Sam Spillman of Dillanos Coffee Roasters joins me for this very special episode. In our conversation we discuss the evolution of her coffee career, her love for the community, what drives her as a professional, competition, challenges she has faced developing as a competitor, her first origin trip, balance in the pursuit of a goal, and what went into and inspired her stellar winning presentation.

I hope you are inspired by this interview with Sam. She is truly a humble champion who is equal parts amazing technical skill and compelling professional passion.

Enjoy!
