If you’re in the Grand Rapids area today or tomorrow, head over to MadCap Coffee for the super slamming barista gathering going on! Trevor from MadCap wrote to tell me about all the awesome people they have lined up for the weekend, including Edwin Martinez of Finca Vista Hermosa, Scott Lucey of Alterra, Jesse Crouse from Intelli, and Ryan Knapp from MadCap. They’ve gathered an amazing array of terrific coffees from roasters all over the country. Go join in the fun!
