I use the word “honor” and “privilege” a lot in this video because truly, that’s what this is! Thank you for joining me on all these coffee journeys and I can’t wait to go on so many more with you all 💚
Congratulations! You worked so hard. Thank you for taking us along. You deserved it you fought hard for it. Watched the finals was cheering for you. So here is to you. Our Champion
Morgan (September 2020): I stopped working in a coffee shop Morgan (November 2020): I'm back at the coffee shop Morgan (April 2022): Winner of US Barista Championships. What a story arc! Congratulations :D
Literally gasped out loud when I woke up the next day and saw you won, I had never heard of the USBC before this, so thank you for bringing it to a whole new audience 👏
I love how this was literally what their presentation was about!! Bringing coffee to at home baristas and viewers and introducing all of us to this competition many of us had never heard of! It’s so cool
I was judging the USCC latte art comp in Boston, so I wasn't able to catch most of your rounds, but I remember one specific moment from your finals round. You were in the middle of pulling your espresso while talking to the judges. I looked up at the big screen and saw your hand shaking on the espresso machine button, while delivering your script with perfect cadence and tone. It was the most badass thing I experienced all week. Congrats on the win, it's well deserved.
Congrats Morgan!!! you deserved it ... i'm sure it was a HUGE amount of work. I actually cheered out loud at the announcement! My wife kept asking "what the heck is going on?!!!"
Should I be slightly embarrassed that I teared up when I saw you win? I'm an old, old coffee professional and even if it sounds silly, I'm proud of you!
Anyone else not drink coffee but came along for the journey and are nothing but proud of you? Seriously. This is your skill and hardwork manifesting in your winning.
I’ve been a barista for almost two years now and your videos have reignited my passion for coffee and opened up so many new ideas for me! Thank you so much for your content, I was so excited to see you win the championships because you truly are the best barista ever!
1000% not surprised that you were a theatre kid in school -- you have amazing stage presence. Congrats again, and I can't wait to see everything related to the WBC!
It still blows my mind that onyx is so well known. Like I’ve seen international UA-camrs mention them and now you. Trying to wrap my head around the fact that one of my areas awesome coffee shops is held in well regards outside our state. Also proud of you! Congrats and I hope the journey you have ahead treats you well. Totally okay to not know what the year will bring as long as we keep aiming forward!
I am so happy for you. I also like having a "hometown" person to support. Being from NC, I didn't see anybody, so my thought process was, 'I hope Morgan wins, if she doesn't I hope they lady from TN wins." You placed 1st and 2nd. Take care, and I am glad to hear you are still going to make videos.
Many Congratulations from here in France and thank you for sharing your journey at the Championships. Every vlog is an education and great watching too.
It feels weird to be a fan and a customer while cheering you on from home and seeing you in the cafe without freaking screaming with excitement, but as soon as I saw on IG I messaged my weird coffee friends that you won. I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait for the world championship! You’re awesome!
Congrats Morgan! I'm curious, how do you deal with it all? How do you manage being a US barista champion, working, living your normal life, and all that while still being the super chill person on youtube that just loves and talks about coffee? It's really amazing to me. Keep up the great work and excellent videos!
I’m busy, that’s for sure! I like doing lots of things and I genuinely enjoy all the various jobs I have so much that it’s worth the sometimes hectic schedule that comes with them :)
Congratulations, Morgan! You were amazing in your presentations at the competitions! Obviously well and truly prepared to take home the top prize. A true pro! Well done, young lady. The sky's the limit for you. Keep going!
I’ll have to watch the full video later, (life as a new dad), but just wanted to quickly comment and say congrats! Your win is a reflection of all your hard work, and personality!
I got the chance to see you win in Boston. I waited till the very end (enjoying all the karaoke involved) to hear if you had indeed won. I had full faith in you! I’m so happy for you! That memory is forever ingrained in my memory! (And also Lance’s Karaoke routine, who knew he could beatbox AND sing Frozen so well?!)
It has been so good to be able to follow along on the journey with you Morgan. Getting to watch the presentations live was such a bonus as well, sitting in my living room in Scotland as you competed live in America and seeing you make such a good job of it was really special. We are so proud of you winning.
I waited for couple of hours checking every few minutes for the announcement of the winner of the competition and jumped out of joy when I saw that their Facebook page posted that you won! I saw all of your competition stages and it was so breathtaking for me since I don't work in a coffee shop and drink coffee not so often. After seeing those I thought that only you could have won it, because it left me in such an awe and happiness for you. Congratulations for the W and I wish you great luck and success in the World competition! 🎊🎉
Congratulations, Morgan! I'm so happy for you! You guys looked so happy from your hard work and evolving so much. That's what important in life! I'm also so excited of your work with Lance at WBC! Good luck! ☕
Really proud of you! I'm the same with public speaking, I have really bad anxiety especially in social situations but when I have people listening to me talk about topics I love, it's oddly relaxing😂
Congratulations!! I subscribed to you when I first started getting into making my own espresso and I really loved how you made coffee less intimidating and fun. So happy for your achievement and excited to continue watching your journey!!
Holy crap!!! I'm so proud of you, your speeches, and the fact that you stand for both the industry and the regular Joe.....I mean the person, not the name.
I sobbed for you, I cannot imagine the emotions you were and are feeling about this! You should be so proud of yourself. It was an honor going along on this journey as a viewer, watching the experience through a screen. So thank you for allowing us to witness this incredible experience with you. You are most deserving of this award. Truly you are.
I've been watching you for a couple years I think and it's so amazing how it went from comedy TikToks in your workplace to something as amazing as winning a US championship for making coffee. You are very extraordinary and must have worked so hard to get here. Congratulations
Wonderful wonderful news congratulations, thank you for the live streaming, it was like being there with you, it’s was fun and superbly done. I see a beautiful Moccamaster in the back ground. ☕️☕️🤩
So proud of you! Good job! I'm so excited for all of the things you are doing and I am so happy you won! You really put so much work and thought into your drinks and your presentation, so you 100% deserved that win!
Coffee is not as popular as tea in Uganda but there are a few coffee heads herein. You have taught me more and more about appreciating a good coffee. Congratulations, much deserved and its upwards and onwards from here for you
Congratulations Morgan, watched all of your presentations and I am also from Oregon (Bend Area) and am very proud of you and your performance. Good luck with whatever you do in the future, you seem like a wonderful person.
So happy I stumbled across your channel while searching for espresso machine reviews. Got here just in time to catch you prep for the comp and win it! Amazing to see you thrive and follow your passion. Keep up the great work!!
Because of my hobbies when I hear USBC I think bowling or USB-C for tech I enjoyed the livestreams, it was awesome to see you get more and more comfortable on that stage from day to day.
I discovered your channel like a month ago and because of you I bought a French press and fresh coffee! It's been an honour for me to see you win this comp! 😍 I learnt from the best
I'm glad you went with lime instead of grapefruit. Grapefruit can be dangerous to serve to people who take certain medications. And the judges, even if they know about the dangers, might feel obligated to drink it anyway.
Big Gratz to you for winning that competition. I watched all 3 parts of your competition and really enjoyed it, especially how you always took a bit at the start to give everyone a breather. Really lightened up everything and set the mood for the big act :-)
I use the word “honor” and “privilege” a lot in this video because truly, that’s what this is! Thank you for joining me on all these coffee journeys and I can’t wait to go on so many more with you all 💚

Those are the words I'd use to describe being on these coffee journeys with you.

What a story arc! Congratulations :D
Next, I’ll enter my villain arc
@@morgandrinkscoffee nice try, we've all seen how you torture that poor drip coffee maker. If that isn't villainous I don't know what is.
So instant coffee fase is coming up, i see.
@@fearghaill9738 she should make exclusively drip coffee and show how to present it is fancy. Villainy!
@@morgandrinkscoffee work on that evil cackle.
Muahahahaha.
Much more convenient than slapping someone

United States barista corps?

James won worlds lol
@@blzt3206 yes, exactly?
Should I be slightly embarrassed that I teared up when I saw you win? I'm an old, old coffee professional and even if it sounds silly, I'm proud of you!
This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing this.
You should definately not be embarrassed
No reason to feel embarrassed. Nothing wrong with being empathetic and happy for someone succeeding.
All I can say is proud, you crushed it, let's run it back in Melbs.
As a Colombian, I was surprised when you said that you're working with a Colombian brand, awesome, hope you can visit us soon.
Anyone else not drink coffee but came along for the journey and are nothing but proud of you?

Now we can finally ask for a collab with none other than James Hoffmann.
Might have more on that soon…
@@morgandrinkscoffee wait...whaaaaa 👀

Congratulations!! I am so happy that you won! You are a great barista and public speaker! I really enjoy your videos!
Starting off with James Hoffmann’s kopi Luwak video, and ending off with yours was the right decision. Sad then happy kinda rollercoaster day.
I find it v cool that the judges hand back your score sheet after competition. Next level transparency and all that. Congrats on the win!
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!! you inspired me to compete in my first barista competition and now I have regionals in a few weeks!! 😭🥰 you are amazing
