Roasters, baristas, producers, do you want to discover new coffee? Would you like to share your own coffee with someone new? And are you going to be at SCAA Expo, Atlanta 2016?

If you said yes to all three questions, then we have the perfect opportunity for you: the Perfect Daily Grind Coffee Bag Exchange.

Bring a bag of your own roasted coffee to the Gold Mountain Coffee Growers booth (number 1053) to exchange it with someone you’ve never met before. Not only will you walk away with a different bag, but you’ll get the chance to directly engage with the person you’re swapping with – sharing your knowledge of the producer, the best brewing techniques, and the reason why this coffee is so damn awesome.

Why Take Part in the PDG Coffee Bag Exchange?

Try a bag of coffee that’s travelled all around the globe. Thousands of people attend this event for the purpose of sharing, discovering, and enjoying coffee – let’s make the most of it!

1. Make even more awesome coffee friends and connections. I mean, you like friends, right? And you like coffee, right?

2. Get exposure: all coffees, with photos, will appear in a Perfect Daily Grind article; on our Instagram, Twitter, and Periscope; and on our new feature, the #PDGLive page. Send us pictures of you brewing and/or drinking the coffee, along with your cupping notes, for even more exposure.

3. Have FUN. Because what’s more fun than getting a surprise coffee present?

Special Thanks

Thanks to the awesome guys at @goldmtncoffee for allowing us to take over their booth for this event. We couldn’t have a better event sponsor, because they represent everything we love about the third wave coffee scene.

Gold Mountain is a direct trade social enterprise who also happen to have their own specialty coffee farm. Their goal is to connect coffee producers with roasters, promote planet-friendly farming practices, and invest in the communities they work with.

They’ve set up some amazing initiatives, including free computer classes for female coffee-producing youths, giving access to credit, and purchasing a rainforest so as to protect the wildlife inside of it. For more information about Gold Mountain, click here.
