The cupping on Friday January 29th will be cancelled. Please join us Friday February 5th at 10:00am for our next cupping.
Thanks to everyone who made last night’s Haiti Relief TNT a success. Due to the efforts of The Dripolator Asheville, Counter Culture Coffee, Asheville community baristas, judges, and customers alike, $200.00 was collected to be donated to Partners in Health.
Thanks Everyone!!!
All cash from tonight’s TNT will go to Partners in Health’s Haiti relief. http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti . Come by and throw down, or just drop in to support your favorite barista.
Tomorrow (December 18th) will be the last cupping of 2009! Since both Christmas and New Years day fall on Fridays this year, those cuppings will be cancelled. Enjoy your holidays, and see you in the new year!
I will be traveling to Charlotte next week (11.13) to participate in the South East Regional Jam. Normal cupping schedule will resume the following week.
The weather here in Asheville has been so beautiful that I have been trying to think creatively when scheduling appointments. Case in point…Scott (from the new downtown Dripolator) agreed to meet me at the Asheville Botanical Gardens in order to take the written portion of his Counter Culture Coffee Barista Certification.
He passed (of course) and is well on his way to becoming the first Counter Culture Certified Barista in the Asheville area!
Information on the Counter Culture Certified Barista Program can be found here.
Just a reminder to all of you latte artists and enthusiasts out there, the last Thursday of every month, at 6:00pm, Greenville’s own Coffee and Crema hosts a Latte Art Hoedown. Come throw your apron in the ring, or just hang out and support competitors. For more info visit:
