Berlin Coffee Society – the forgotten coffee

In 2011, five independent Coffee Shops from Berlin teamed up and founded the Berlin Coffee Society (BCS). Bonanza Coffee, Cafe CK, Doubleeye, Five Elephant, Godshot and No Fire No Glory. The mission of the BCS is coffee of course. We aim to inform interested guests about coffee, from growing on the farms in the producing countries, to the preparation methods in the coffee shops. Exploring the variety of flavors and brewing methods of specialty coffee is our passion. With the BCS we have created an opportunity to share knowledge, develop creative forces, inspire each other, educate ourselves and evolve as a coffee culture. We celebrate coffee and want to have a fun, positive attitude, with open communication and mutual respect for each other.

We organize coffee events open to the public, support the Berlin Barista Community and work to improve the public perception and appreciation of coffee, particularly in Berlin.

 

For Taste Festival 2012, The current German SCAE Cup Tasting Champion and BCS member, Cory Andreen will hold a talk about the forgotten taste potentials and qualities of coffee. Single-origin coffees will be freshly brewed cup for cup with an old preparation method at our Brew Bar. Guests are invited to explore the many possibilities of coffee. We will also be serving cascara, a coffee cherry tea with a real natural sweetness and notes of plums and raisins, which is little known in Germany.
