The United States Barista Championship (USBC) is an event designed to encourage and recognize professional achievement in the art of espresso beverage preparation and service. Competitors will prepare and service 12 coffee beverages - one espresso, one cappuccino, and one signature drink of their own creation, for each of the four sensory judges in a space of 15 minutes.

The 2007 United States Barista Championship (USBC), hosted by KRUPS, will be held in conjunction with the SCAA's 19th Annual Conference & Exhibition, May 4-7, 2007, in Long Beach, California. The winner of the 2007 USBC will go on to represent the United States at the 8th Annual World Barista Championship, hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of Japan, July 29 – August 2, 2007 in Tokyo, Japan.

The USBC will take place on the trade show floor. If you wish to be a spectator at the USBC you must have a Trade Show Floor Badge in order to enter the USBC area. The USBC begins each day before the Exhibitor area is open to the public; however, anyone with a Trade Show Floor Badge will have access to the USBC area to watch the USBC.
