Coffee Contrasting Event

On Thursday, August 2 at 7p at the DoubleShot we will have another coffee tasting event.  We will brew 12 of our most delicious coffees for you to taste, compare, and contrast side-by-side.  This will be another informal tasting.  We will explain the format at the beginning and set everyone loose to sip the brews, and a few of us will be on-hand to answer questions during the event.  The coffees will be set up so you can either blind taste everything or you can look online at each one to see what it is and what we thought of it.  We strongly suggest, if you don't have one, that you download a QR Code Reader app before the event.

We will be taking $10 donations again for this event, and even if you can't make it you're still welcome to make a donation to the Coffee Illuminati.  Please let us know if you plan to come, either by telling your barista at the DoubleShot or by emailing:  info@coffeeilluminati.com.
You can make donations by cash or check (made out to Coffee Illuminati) or online by clicking the donate button at the bottom of this page:  http://coffeeilluminati.com/help.html

Proceeds from this event will be used to give a $1000 scholarship to a needy teenager in Concordia, Colombia who wants to go to university in Medellin.  The scholarship will pay for the student's tuition for a semester.  We have done this a couple of times in the past and the students really need and appreciate the help.
