Hoffman was the World Barista Champion in 2007 and he’s also the owner of Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London, UK.

So there ya go. Michael Allen Smith, out of the “Coffee Hero World Headquarters” in Seattle, is the producer and creator of the e-zine INeedCoffee and the main organizer for the Coffee Club of Seattle.

Alex Scofield is the leader at Coffee Hero’s “Northeast Regional Branch Office” in Cape Cod, MA where, “if all else fails”, he roasts his own beans.
