10am | Swings Coffee, 501 E Monroe Ave
Check out the coffee cupping at Swings Coffee featuring a classic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. This hand-picked, washed, and carefully sorted coffee is full of floral aromatics, paired with chocolate and lemon, and finishes clean like water.
Sign up to see what cuppings are all about and cup the newest single-origin coffee roasted two different ways.
A perfect event for coffee enthusiasts and those curious about the cupping process.
P.S. Swings Coffee Cuppings are held on the 3rd Friday of each month. If you can’t make this one, you can catch a future Friday!
