CoffeeGeek
Join Dilworth Coffee and the Barista Guild of America for a night celebrating the Southeast's vibrant barista and coffee community! Of course there will be a ridiculous latte art throwdown, featuring some of the hottest latte artists around, including Millrock Latte Art champ Ben Helfen. This year, besides the famous s...uper rockstar custom tamper, we are giving cool home coffee brewing packages to the top two baristas, as well as many other cool prizes from Bellissimo and Barista Magazine! This year will also host the first ever Southeast Regional City vs City Throwdown. Special Guest MC and Latte Art Extraordinaire Chris "Defurious" Deferio will be showing off what has made him a multiple and current Millrock Latte Art champion!
Prizes are as follows:
First Place- A home brewing package featuring a Baratza Maestro grinder, Chemex, and Digital Scale. Also, a custom first place tamper.
Second Place- A Yama Siphon Brewer, a Digital Scale, and a custom second place tamper.
Third Place-Various package from Bellissimo, a year's subscription to Barista Magazine, coffee, and other goodies, as well as a custom third place tamper.
(Plus, all participants receive a goody bag with Spouted Bell pitcher, CoffeeTool, and other swag!)
Let's not forget about the Bash! Open bar, grub, and the unstoppable and unbeatable DJ skills of former SE Regional Champ and amazing barista Lem Butler. We will be providing shuttles from and to the event for all needed.
This event is part of the BGA Southeast Regional Jam, and is sponsored by Dilworth Coffee, Carolina Espresso Services, Barista Magazine, Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup, Coffeegeek.com, Torani, and Big Train.
(There is a $5 donation to enter the throwdown, which is going to charity.)
NB - this is not a "CoffeeGeek" Event; however, CoffeeGeek.com is a proud sponsor of this Jam. Please relate all questions and queries to Jason Dominy, organizer of this great event.Read more

CoffeeGeek Thanks to everyone who attended the coffee tasting today - we had some great coffees, and it was a great communal affair. Loved seeing everyone getting into coffee conversations all over the Lab.
CoffeeGeek Getting excited about the first official tasting event at the CoffeeGeek Lab on Sunday! Surprise coffee will delight, I'm sure!
CoffeeGeek
We're having our first (of what I hope will be monthly) CoffeeGeek Lab coffee tastings this Sunday!
Sorry for the short notice, it kind of came together very quick - but it'll be worth it! This event is also limited to the first twenty people to confirm as attending - so if you want to take part, RSVP as soon as you ca...n!
We have some great coffees from some quality roasters, including
- Counter Culture Coffee (North Carolina)
- PT's Coffee (Kansas)
- Doma Coffee (Idaho)
- Phil & Sebastian Coffee (Calgary)
The coffees will begin brewing at 2:45 and will be brewed by press pot and chemex methods, with an extra special coffee done on a siphon coffee maker.
There is no charge for this event (though we will be asking for nominal payments in the future for other events)
The event is held in Vancouver, at the CoffeeGeek Lab. The location is in Cambie Village, near West 17th and Cambie. All confirmed attendees will be notified of the address and directions. Again, this will be limited to the first 20 RSVPs, so sign on quick!Read more

Thoughts please everyone:
I have a Ascaso Arc Fun espresso maker http://www.fairfaxcoffee.com/Items/Espre
the unit is out of warranty, and this is now the second time it's broken :-(. first time was in warranty. i reckon it's going to cost at least a £100 to repair. Should i get it repaired, get a new machine instead, or get a different espresso maker. I don't want a pod type machine, and the unit must be able to froth milk.
Any help greatly appreciated.
cheers

Melissa Wisniewski Are there any upcoming events in Chicago?
Steve Woods Ever since I've been away from my roaster, and espresso machine I've been suffering withdraw. It's been such a long time but I think I'm back!
Tari Bramlett Can't wait to begin reading up on the website! With winter coming here in Michigan we can really use some new 'warm up' ideas and coffee is the Favorite warm-me-up beverage in our house!
KerryChad Albright I need a cheap at home roaster that's not a glorified hot air pop corn popper. and QUIET any ideas? Or would it just be easier to throw the beans in the oven? never roasted at home or anywhere for that matter.
Johnny Oughtred 1001 members now homie!

A bit late, but hey, what the heck - new article up at CoffeeGeek: Building the CoffeeGeek Lab
http://www.coffeegeek.com/opinions/coffe
Source: www.coffeegeek.com
As those of you who enjoy the front page content on CoffeeGeek know, updates and new articles have been few and far between this spring and summer. A lot of it has to do with a bit of stockpiling we've been doing - stockpiling words, stockpiling articles, how-tos, guides, reviews, you name it. ...
CoffeeGeek Meanwhile, a new "Coffee at the Moment" article for CoffeeGeek is being finalised. Just need a few additional photographs, and it'll be online by the end of the week. It's a feature on the CoffeeGeek Lab and school plans for this fall.
CoffeeGeek Decided to make the GS/3 writup on CoffeeGeek an article, instead of a review. This is a groundbreaking, game changing machine that 50 years from now, when the history of espresso is written, really should have a good section on it.
