As I think all of you will say...it's about god damn time. Well, bite me. But, here
are the results for the Defcon 9 Coffee Wars, in its second year of operation. Now, before you complain,
some of the entry forms I can't even begin to decipher the name of the contestant, so if I mangle it,
I apologize.
Total score for each entry were judged on seven categories: bean aroma,
brew aroma, brew strength, brew taste, bang for buck, brew acidity, and
brew overall. The total score (each category going from 1-10) was
calculated and averaged. The following are the 6 entries that had 3 or
more judging forms filled out. Entries with only two judging forms were
not factored in.
| Entrant Name |
Coffee Name |

I already congratulated Tim at the last 'Con, but congrats again, and once again, can we find
anything that tops Blue Mountain? Coming soon is a very long writeup of the future of the Coffee
Wars, that you will all find very interesting, I think.
