Reppin' my hometown, Calgary, Monogram Coffee has put Canada's coffee scene on the map. The masterminds behind Monogram Coffee, Ben Put, Jeremy Ho and Justin Eyford, deviated from conventional careers in medical sciences to pursue their passion in coffee. The trio worked at numerous cafes in Calgary including Phil & Sebastian prior to opening their own business. They combined their experiences in sourcing, roasting, brewing and education in sciences, developing the perfect formulas for creating some of Canada's best coffee.
Putting their skills to the test, Jeremy competed in his first barista competition in 2012 and took home the award of Best Barista in Canada. Ben killed it in subsequent years holding the title for three consecutive years from 2013 to 2015. The team won global recognition during the 2015 World Barista Championship with Ben winning 3rd place against over 50 competitors from across the world.
During a trip home, we caught up with Monogram Coffee at their new brick and mortar location in Altadore. We talked coffee, life after the University of Calgary, starting a business, competitions and one of the keys to success (in terms of espresso), tampers. Barista champ Ben schooled us on tampers and what led him to create a customized version of the all-important barista tool. Check out the video above and learn a thing or two about coffee!
