Since its origins, the Brim brand has stood for trust, taste and value. As we continue the narrative of this storied brand, we felt it was of utmost importance to embrace the passion and expertise of artisans who have dedicated themselves to the craft of coffee in this third-wave movement, and have selected barista and U.S. Brewers Cup Finalist Blair Smith to serve as Brim’s resident coffee expert. In addition to showing you how to properly use the line of products (she’s the star of our videos!), Blair will support us in our mission to bring the experience of craft coffee back into consumers’ homes.

A little bit about Blair: she’s been actively involved in the coffee industry since 2012, earned her Barista Level 1 Certification from the Specialty Coffee Association, and completed La Palma y El Tucán’s prestigious Origin & Craft program in Colombia. Blair has been both a competitor and judge of the Brewer’s Cup Competition and has placed in both regional and national competitions each of the last three years, including advancing to the U.S. Coffee Championships in Seattle after competing in the 2017 qualifying competitions.
