Free Friday Coffee Cupping

We have a tradition at Counter Culture Coffee: every Friday at 10 a.m., rain or shine, we stop and taste coffee together at our Durham, NC, headquarters and each of our regional training centers in Asheville, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Washington, DC; as well as with retail partners in Philadelphia and New York! We love to welcome our friends, customers, and families to these free coffee cuppings, and we welcome you, too.
