Win Tickets to CoffeeCon2013

CoffeeCON 2013 is coming soon, Saturday, May 4 to be exact. CoffeeCON is a one day event where coffee lovers like you and I gather and learn about all things coffee. I have been invited to be an official blogger of the event, and will be reporting on all the day’s activities.

There will be lectures and demonstrations, and of course coffee. You can learn about everything from pour over methods to coffee sustainability. There are labs on Aeropress and Chemex brewing. Workshops on Turkish Coffee and coffee and food pairings will go on. You may even learn there is a right way to grind coffee.

Specialty coffee pioneer George Howell will speak. Howell established Coffee Connection in Cambridge, MA in 1974. He is one of the people who taught us there is a craft to coffee roasting. He eventually sold his business and a little recipe called the Frappuccino to Starbucks. The Specialty Coffee Association of America(SCAA) presented Howell with a lifetime achievement awards in 1996. 

Also speaking will be Christy Thorns, Director of Sourcing and Quality Control for Allegro Coffee. Thorns will talk about environmental and growing issues in the coffee world. 

This is an informative and very fun time, and I am so excited to be going this year.
