Event: Coffee Cupping with Vigilante Coffee

UPDATE: Unfortunately, this event is sold out.While living and working in Hawaii, Christopher Vigilante developed a passion for coffee. This passion led him from working in coffee plantations to working in cafes, learning the nuances of the art of roasting to a commitment to sourcing quality beans. Christopher chose DC as the location he would launch his business, Vigilante Coffee, and has developed quite the following despite not yet having a permanent location. That location should come in the not-too-distant future, in the form of Maketto, a street food and fashion space dubbed the "next generation Eastern Market." Until then, Slow Food DC is pleased to have arranged a coffee cupping at Vigilante's current Pop-up Coffee Shop. Join us as Christopher Vigilante brings us through the cupping process and teaches us the methods they use to evaluate all of the coffees they roast. Learn about the subtle and not-so-subtle taste differences--and don't forget your notepad!Event: Coffee Cupping with Vigilante CoffeeDate: Saturday, April 6, 2013Time: 10:30am to noonLocation: Vigilante's Pop-up Coffee Shop, 1017 7th St NW, Washington DC 20001 (conveniently located by the Green/Yellow Mt.
