Greetings fellow coffee students and lovers of the bean!  It’s been almost 2 weeks since my last post.  I drove down to Ann Arbor, Michigan last week for the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) Skill Building Workshop.  This was a 2 day event that offered opportunities to learn more about coffee, and how to improve your skills.  I attended two classes about cupping coffee, and received certificates 🙂  I gained a greater appreciation and understanding of tasting coffee and comparing coffees from different regions and methods of processing.  I also got to meet some excellent people too!
