How many of you have heard about ComicCon? This is the annual love fest of all things fantasy and sci-fi. Usually it involves people dressed as anything in the George Lucas or Gene Rodenberry universes. Coffee Geeks, you have your convention now- CoffeeCON!
Fans of the Java and all things coffee will gather on May 4 in Warrenville, IL for a day of demonstrations, lectures, cuppings, and more information than you can imagine. Here are some of the classes which will be in session that day:
Pour Over Methods
Chemex Brewing Lab
The Importance of Correct Grinding
How to Host a Cupping Party
Turkish Coffee Preparation
There will be special guests. One of the guests is George Howell, a pioneer in the specialty coffee world, will present a coffee tasting lab, which is designed to better educate us on what truly goes into a quality cup of coffee. Howell opened the Coffee Connection at Harvard in the 1970s, and really created the specialty coffee genre. Among other things he created the Frappuccino. He sold his business to Starbucks, and has since created the George Howell Coffee Company.
CoffeeCon is an event for anyone who loves coffee. Whether you are a seasoned coffee geek, or someone who craves more than instant coffee, this is for you. Right now registration is $10. Come on....what a deal.
