The World Forestry Center invites visitors to fuel their caffeine addiction with Coffee Fair on November 6 & 7 from 10am -3pm. This special event celebrates the world’s most popular drink in all its forms from espresso, to lattes, to even the plain ol’ Cup O’ Joe.
The World Forestry Center hopes to educate coffee consumers about where their coffee comes from and how it is produced. Visitors can expect a total emersion in Northwest coffee culture through savoring and sipping coffees from around the globe from some of the Pacific Northwest premier roasters. Coffee tasting has become an art, rivaling wine in chemical complexity.
At Coffee Fair, visitors can:
- learn nuances of coffee and discover new favorites;
- compare and contrast favorite established roasters to new, fresh micro-roasters;
- sample coffee from exotic locales such as Ethiopia, Brazil, and Guatemala roasted to perfection in the Pacific Northwest.
- learn coffee basics from The Passionate Harvest, a 60 min. video that chronicles the journey of coffee from seed to cup;
Coffee Fair is sponsored in part by: K&F Select Fine Coffees, Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters, IKEA, Kick Ax Coffee, Kink.fm, and Willamette Week.
The World Forestry Center is a 501(c)(3) non profit educational organization dedicated to teaching about the world’s forests and trees and environmental stewardship. Coffee Fair admission includes admission to the Center’s Discovery Museum as well. The museum is located in Portland’s beautiful Washington Park and is open every day from 10am- 5pm. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and $5 for children ages 3-18. There is a $2 Metro parking fee per car that is waived if visitors take public transportation. The museum is five minutes from downtown Portland, just off Hwy 26 and is also accessible by MAX light rail line.

We should win cause, we are the ONLY fresh speciality coffee roaster in Vancouver. Hard to believe with so many in PDX, but it would be a cool opportunity to educate our small staff…

The scent of coffee makes me smile…
November 4, 2010 at 13:39
I would love to start learning as much about coffee as I know about tea! Guaranteed, I’m the only one on this list that spent 6 months on a self-guided tour around India to learn about tea and even opened my own shop on the east coast! Coffee was my first love, and though I know some great info about it, I’d love to learn more and network with other people who share my insane passion for hot drinks!
:D

For Coffee Drinkers: You know you are addicted to coffee if …
You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
You sleep with your eyes open.
You have to watch videos in fast-forward.
You’re so jittery that people use your hands to blend their margaritas.
You don’t sweat, you percolate.
You have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug.
You can outlast the Energizer bunny.
Your first-aid kit contains two pints of coffee with an I.V. hookup.
You sent me to the coffee fair to test drive more coffee. Heres to you PDX for giving coffee lovers hope while drinking there 10th espresso. Hope to win.

Uncomfortable pregnant lady who keeps her husband awake by tossing and turning all night. He’d really appreciate some tasty coffee!

November 4, 2010 at 16:42
I get an insane headache when I don’t get my daily dose of coffee….clearly this event is right up my alley!
November 4, 2010 at 16:43
I need coffee! Been drinking coffee since I was 10 and that’s well, I won’t tell you how many years ago. And I’m spoiled because I like the good stuff – high octane coffee. No decaf. No Maxwell House for me.
November 4, 2010 at 16:49
I love coffee and have recently been learning a lot about where it is grown and how direct trade is so much better for the world than buying from massive corporations. This would be a perfect opportunity to taste some new, sustainable varietals.
November 4, 2010 at 16:50
Coffee is Bliss!!! Love the taste, love the smell, love anything COFFEEE…I’ve never been to this festival, would be coffee heaven, thanks.
November 4, 2010 at 17:03
This would be dreamy to attend & corresponds with my schedule well even for a change!…I’ve been dying to sample some more local varieties since I moved here recently & what better way than for free is there? :)
November 4, 2010 at 17:03
A rare breed in PDX, I am a newbie to coffee. I’ve started to attend cuppings in the area and I think this event would be a good addition to the beginning of a new, caffinated adventure.
November 4, 2010 at 17:08
I love coffee and museums!
November 4, 2010 at 17:13
Love Coffee! Can’t live without it :)
November 4, 2010 at 17:34
I love coffee and would enjoy learning more about it!
November 4, 2010 at 18:24
I was given the title of “Prima Barrista” at my old office because I am such a coffee lover! This sounds like a fantastic event and I would love to go and learn more about coffee and drink yummy coffee too.
November 4, 2010 at 18:40
My husband’s obsessed with making a good cup of coffee at home. His latest toy – a pour over thingy. So he’s love this!
November 4, 2010 at 18:46
We all love coffee here (this is Portland right?). I’d love to learn more about the nuances of coffee and brewing and roasting. I hope to open my own shop up within the next 5 years (and it’d help to know more about it before doing so).
November 4, 2010 at 19:56
Coffee is life!
November 4, 2010 at 20:14
My mother’s birthday was on the 1st and I usually cook a fancy meal for my family to celebrate. This year I was in bed with a cold and my mother’s birthday dinner was put on hold. I will still make that dinner soon but I would love to make it up to my mother, who is coffee crazy, and take her to this event. She would love it and it would be a great surprise!
November 4, 2010 at 22:25
I’d love to learn the scene behind the bean.
November 4, 2010 at 23:34
I Love Coffee!!! Could there be(an) any better reason than than…
November 5, 2010 at 00:32
Hi I am in graduate school and could really use the caffeine boost this weekend! :-)
November 5, 2010 at 02:42
If and when I ever need a transfusion,ensure that I get a good robust, Italian Roast or a smooth and warming French Roast.
November 5, 2010 at 06:58
Just the smell of freshly brewed coffee does the constitution good!
November 5, 2010 at 08:38
I would totally enjoy winning this prize because I never seem to win anything :-( I LOVE coffee and really, really, really would find it groovy to learn more about the different tastes and blends of coffee. PLUS I’ve never been inside the World Forestry building let alone the museum!! PLease, purrdy please pick me!
November 5, 2010 at 08:44
Oh how I love coffee!!! Please pick me!
November 5, 2010 at 09:22
Pick me so I could take my “coffee pusher” mother-in-law and show her that Peet’s coffee is not the only good coffee out there. I like coffee too but this woman is a Coffeeholic. Believe me, you want her there.
November 5, 2010 at 10:22
“Face everything avoid nothing”
I intend to fully indulge in the delight of all the flavors that coffee can inspire, appreciating all the levels of the intense aromas of the beans and how hard the growers/field hands through production work to bring us the plentiful varieties of delicious coffee to be savoired with delight.
Yes, I will win these tickets and be there to relish and enjoy and experience and share with others what I have discovered in coffee.
November 5, 2010 at 11:10
*Good* coffee is my lifeblood (yes, I’m a snob about my coffee addiction). I’ve wanted to go to this event every year, but I’m always broke!
November 5, 2010 at 11:27
coffee is my girfriend’s favorite drink, and she would love to go to this! It would be great to win tickets!
November 5, 2010 at 12:14
I just moved into the area, being a barista from elsewhere. I came here after hearing the incredible level of quality Portland offers, and I want to be able to train to meet that standard to be successful in a place that really takes their beans seriously! This would be a great chance for me to learn, engage, and educate myself so I can be a part of the Portland caliber!
November 5, 2010 at 21:42
I have lived in Oregon for 30 years- Portland for 15- I have never been able to drink a regular cup of coffee and have tried and tried to like it. Maybe going to a coffee fair will help me find the “one”. Would love to win to check it out!
November 6, 2010 at 09:40
Love it! I can’t live without my french press. I love coffee and would have fun at this event.
