Don’t miss SpoCup, rare Stumptown coffee

Don’t forget about SpoCup on Saturday.

Five local coffee shops are hosting a coffee crawl 3-6 p.m. Participants get a passport and a T-shirt, then they hit five coffee shops in three hours. All of the details are here .

The event starts at INDABA Coffee Bar, 1425 W. Broadway Ave. That’s where you’ll need to go first if you didn’t sign up in advance. You’ll have to pay $30, but there are benefits:

1) You’ll get to hang out with like-minded coffee geeks (Or not. You choose.)

2) Local businesses will benefit from your caffeine addiction.

3) There’s a cool T-shirt.

4) A local non-profit benefits from a portion of sales on Saturday each of the five participating coffee shops. Big Table supports restaurant industry workers and they probably have a few people to help right now given some recent (unexpected) restaurant closures.

5) There will be swag and raffles.

6) Boots Bakery & Lounge, 24 W. Main Ave., is hosting the last stop on the crawl and they serve cocktails. There will be a DJ, too. You’ll get to hit Coeur Coffeehouse, 701 N. Monroe St.; Luxe Coffee House, 1017 W. First Ave.; and Atticus Coffee and Gifts, 222 N. Howard St.

If that is not enough, here’s one last thing to consider:

7) You could drop some serious coin on rare coffee.

Coeur Coffeehouse owner Mike Garrison says they received a shipment of some of the rarest coffee on the planet. Stumptown’s Guatemala Finca el Injerto, Gesha varietal costs about $125 for a 12-ounce bag.

Coeur will be serving it for $10 per cup or $25 per Chemex for those who want to check it out. There are details - including an heavenly description of the flavor of the coffee - here .
