Last Chance: Celebrate A&E Coffee's 10th Anniversary!

 is celebrating their ten years in business with a weeklong schedule of events and festivities at the Amherst café.

They are also running the A&E MVP (Most Valuable Patron) contest on Facebook, where the winner can have FREE COFFEE for a year! That sounds pretty darn good.

Here are the events scheduled this week:

Monday, May 7, at 5:30 p.m. – Roastmaster Adam will lead a roast demo, giving players a look inside the process and philosophy behind roasting the best coffee in New Hampshire. (Space is limited for this event.)

Friday, May 11, at 7 p.m. – a special appearance by author Majka Burhardt, author of Coffee Story  Ethiopia: A Tale From The Country Where Coffee Began. Burhardt will lead a discussion based on her experience in Ethiopia where the indigenous people are embracing the heritage and potential of their  defining crop, a plant first accounted for in legend more than three thousand years ago and that now ranks among the world’s ten most-valued commodities. Burhardt will also sign books for attendees.

Saturday, May 12 at 7 p.m. – A&E will host an after-hours party with a bar, appetizers, door prizes and a signature drink competition among A&E baristas.
