Tasting at Ten: Free coffee tasting

Counter Culture Coffee is hosting another Tasting at Ten on Friday, Nov 7, at 10 AM. It's their weekly Friday morning session, and if you've never been, the format is pretty straightforward: you sip and discuss coffees from the Counter Culture menu and trace the bean's journey from seed to cup. It's a slow-paced way to start a Friday, and because it's a regular thing, you can drop in whenever you're around.

Counter Culture is an Atlanta roaster that's been at this since 1995. They describe their work as a pursuit of coffee perfection, and they've built that around a stated commitment to environmental, social, and fiscal sustainability. A good part of that also goes into training cutting-edge coffee people, so the people leading the tasting actually know their stuff. If you've ever wondered what goes into a cup of coffee beyond just the roast, this is a good place to get those answers.

The session runs on Friday mornings, and this one kicks off at 10 AM at their Atlanta location. It's free to attend, so you don't need to worry about tickets or a cover charge. If you're in the neighborhood on a Friday morning and want to spend an hour talking coffee with people who live for it, this is a low-stakes way to do it.
