June Throwdown! Making our return to the New Harvest Training Lab! Be There!
The Providence Coffee Society is proud to present the first annual Providence Aeropress Championship! Taking a page from the book of many other coffee enthusiasts, the PCS will be holding its first-ever Aeropress competition on Wednesday, May 30th! Our competitors will slug it out using the unique brewing device to determine our top dog; each brew will be judged by a panel of 3 top-notch tasters, grading it on Acidity, Body, Flavor and Overall Impression. Each competitor is welcome to bring their own coffee (for the first round!) and choice of Aeropress filter - a grinder and hot water source will be provided. Spectators welcome and encouraged!
Watch this space and the PCS Facebook page for more information!
Are you a prospective competitor? Send us an email with your name, the coffee you intend to use, and your Aeropress recipe to providence.coffee.society@gmail.com !
As always, the PCS is grateful to our ongoing sponsors; La Marzocco, New Harvest Coffee Roasters, and Rhody Fresh Milk!
Thanks Josh!

Peregrine is awesome! If you’re ever in DC, they’re an easy trip via car or metro - plus you can buy fresh fruit and assorted tchotchkes at the Eastern Market steps from their door! Future competitors: watch closely!
Also: Tulip Tuesday next week!
SAO
TULIP TUESDAY!
FREE BEER (Thanks La Marzocco!)
FREE MILK (Thanks Lil’ Rhody!)
FREE TO ATTEND ($5 to throw down and get a chance at the Green Jacket!)
The PCS was finally able to recover the Green Jacket from those Boston scalawags, and it is only with your ongoing support, talent, and appreciation for fine low-cost adult beverages that we can keep the streak alive!
See you there!

PCS:
We have PCS representatives in EVERY CATEGORY of the Send Me To Vienna! Competition. It’s an Internet-Voting type thing, and the winners are going to the World Barista Championship in Vienna. If we pull together, there is a real chance that ALL FOUR WINNERS could be from the PCS!
What a message it would send if the Providence Coffee Society swept an international competition! Here are links to the pages of all four of our noble competitors:
Please vote, and definitely share this page with your facebook & twitter pals!
