If your day doesn’t start until after your first cup of coffee, this is the book club gathering for you. On Wednesday, December 13 at 6 p.m., join Amanda M. Faison, the former food editor of 5280 , and Elle Jensen, local barista and owner of Amethyst Coffee Co., for a discussion that dives deep into our favorite beverage. We’ll discuss the history of the bean and the current state of the caffeine craze. Follow along as we work our way through the chosen book The World Atlas of Coffee: From Beans to Brewing—Coffees Explored, Explained, and Enjoyed, written by 2007 World Barista Champion James Hoffmann. Bonus: Samples.
