Every Friday at 10 AM, rain or shine, or major holiday, all of Counter Culture Coffee stops what we are doing (unless we're driving or flying, or performing super hero stunts) gets together and cups coffee. If you are in New York, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Atlanta, Asheville, or hey even Durham, would like to come to one, go to Counter Culture Coffee for directions to the respective training center or cupping site.

As well, I will start posting our results from the Charlotte Training here on Barista Exchange...AND...on our boardroom.

SOOOO...if you want to join in...bring your thoughts and reflections from our cuppings.
