Appendix E-J

So…apparently the rapture is supposed to go down this coming Saturday – 5.21.11. We’re going to ring it in by hosting a benefit coffee tasting for one of our favorite things: Ruminate Magazine.

Quite a few coffee shops hold coffee tastings & cuppings. They are important. They teach you about what you are drinking, and that is important to know.

Everyday Joe’s wants to continue this idea, but put our twist on it. Enter: Coffee & Goodness. Each Coffee & Goodness event serves two purposes:

1. Educate you about coffee & its intricacies

2. Benefit an organization doing Good.

We’ll be serving one coffee bean four ways so you can taste it in all its glory. Admission ($8) will include a sample of each preperation: Hario V60 Pourover, Clever Coffee Dripper, French Press, and Espresso. At each brew station, there will be folks to help your palate along and tell you what tastes to be looking for.

Back a few years ago, we hosted the Ruminate Magazine launch party…& we’re so glad that our relationship with them continues. They produce good and great art and the future for them is exciting. Come down and drink coffee and learn about these good folks.

The bean this time around in the PNG Kunjin from the fellas at Novo Coffee. It’s become one of our favs as of late, and we think you’ll agree it’s definitely worth taking the time to imbibe it.

Your $8 will get you a 4 oz. sample of each of the three brew methods, plus a single espresso. The good people of Novo were kind enough to donate all the coffee for the event, so Ruminate will walk away with $7 for every person that comes through the doors. The event starts at 1 pm, and is run open house style until we’re done at 4 pm.

Come and get it.

Coffee is a spectacular thing. Much more spectacular than most folks give it credit for. We know the spectacularness of wine. The spectacularness of beer. The spectacularness of food. Coffee is just as spectacular. So are people doing good things.

Everyday Joe’s is very excited to introduce Coffee & Goodness. Every few months, we will host an afternoon of coffee education to benefit good things. The first of these afternoons is on September 12 and will benefit the efforts of International Teams: Greece (and an Everyday Joe’s volunteer Wendy Thompson ).

You can come in for free and learn about Wendy’s efforts, but the cost to educate your coffee palette concerning coffee is $7. We will “host” one bean for the afternoon (thinking a Guatemalan for this go round) and brew it for you 4 different ways. All profits will go to Wendy & her efforts. Your seven bones will get you:

• 6 oz. cup brewed via Hario Ceramic Drip
• 6 oz. cup brewed via Chemex
• 6 oz. cup brewed via French Press
• single origin espresso

We will have volunteers at each station, telling you what tasting notes to look for and what makes the brewing method special/delicious. Wendy will also be working the room with her smiling face and knowledge of her efforts working with refugees in Greece.

We hope to see you on September 12. If you are interested in being the beneficiary of an afternoon of Coffee & Goodness, just let us know and we’ll chat it up.
