I make coffee daily but the taste and variety could improve a bit. This sounds like a great event!
I love COFFEE!!!
Fun! Perfect way to welcome the cold rain :)
You know, coffee is an incredible thing and Portland has a great history in the field of coffee making. I would so love to attend this event with free passes and win the free coffee too. I’ve been wanting to educate myself more on the process of brewing great coffee. Please pick me! Thanks.
Feed me more coffee please.
I could definitely use some new coffee inspiration!
I’m late to the coffee game and would really like to be able to answer the question: how do I make the best cup of black coffee? I usually feel like I’m masking the taste with sugar and cream when all I want to do is make and find that “perfect cup of black gold”.
what a great way to spend a day! caffeinated and educated, two of my favorite things.
I am always trying to improve my coffee skills and I want to learn from the experts!
I’d like to learn about green coffee beans!
I can’t live without coffee!!
I would love to win because I am a huge coffee fan. Also, I’ve heard quite a bit about K&F Coffee Roasters but I haven’t tried their coffee yet. I would really like to give it a try and do the coffee cupping event with Don Dominguez.
I’d like to win tickets to the coffee fair because I love coffee and have never attended the fair
I’d like to win tickets to the coffee fair because I love coffee and have never attended the fair
Awesome! Please choose me because I love free “Perks”!
Yum! coffee is one of my favorite things.
because pdx made me a coffee junkie!
Hey pdx pipeline. For the obvious reason that I love coffee! Plus when someone asks me how to find something to do I alway refer them to your site. For real.
YUM Coffee!!!!
I saw this event on this mornings news. As soon as I saw it I had to call my wife and let her know because she is a coffee fanatic! She would love to come and learn more about her favorite drink. She even decorated our kitchen with a coffee theme. But her knowledge about the ins and outs of coffee is limited. This event would be perfect for her. She is jumping up and down with a cup of coffee in her hand right now saying “pick me pick me”….ooops time to clean up that mess.
i love coffee and would love to taste other coffee pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee pick me
I would love to attend this event and it happens to be on my day off, it would be such a great opportunity to learn more about coffee and espresso!
My boyfriend and I are in love with coffee, and are trying to find out how to make a good cup. We have very little money and are working on finding as many as free dates as possible, this weekend would be a dream to attend!
My wife is a coffee addict, and I’m always looking for better and better ways to make her the perfect cup of coffee.
I <3 Coffee!
I love coffee, as do many of my friends, but I am usually not allowed near the coffee put so it would be awesome to learn how to brew the perfect cup & learn more about it & so surprise my friends. Also I have never been to the forestry center but have always wanted to check it out so this would be the perfect opportunity for both.
I make coffee/espresso for a living and would love to be more educated on the craft of it all to further serve my customers. I also, am a big coffee drinker and always enjoy learning more about it, and how to make it better! There is a certain skill to making a good brew!
I love coffee! And I’d love to attend this!
Oooo… I was just searching online for coffee samples this morning, by lunch time I was on the corner turning tricks for just one more sip of joe… maybe I can get my fix at the coffee fair instead :)
It goes without saying that I adore coffee, and tire waitstaff around Portland with my endless calls for refills. I’d be so jazzed to go to this event, and the gift basket would be a MAJOR treat for me!
sign me up! I missed last years and kicked myself for doing so. What a great way to see, taste some coffee and treats that are made locally!
I ❤ coffee! Helps me study Hahha

Great chance to get your java fix and more!! Meet the most knowledgeable coffee experts in stump town
It’s like a wine tasting- with coffee! Would love to win tickets and get my buzzzz on.
You mean I could try all kinds of coffee from all over the world in one place?!?!? YES!!!!
My wife is a coffee lover and I never got into it, but this would be a great opportunity to give it another (espresso) shot!
OHHHH please pick me. LOVE coffee, love this event and missed it last year!
I need THIS
Trying out coffee all afternoon would be any Portlanders favorite rainy day activity!
My husband is totally obsessed with making the perfect espresso for us to enjoy at home! This event will be great!
I love coffee but I am certainly not an expert. I would love to go and learn more.
Ooh! Coffee! Weekend entertainment, buzzing brain, earthy delicious beverage, and the wonderful World Forestry Center! Yes, please!!!
I would love the opportunity to be educated on brewing and choosing the right selection of coffee bean for my palate. I love coffee and so does my fiancé! We’re crossing our fingers…..k
Love, Love, Love Coffee! And Frizz is amazing and I love to see the new ways they use it in cocktails.
Cant live a day without coffee and would love to visit this fair!
I need somewhere to go on a date this weekend, my coffee beans are stale, and I haven’t been to the Foresty Center in over a decade…three reasons why I’d love to win tickets. Thanks for offering them!
I would love to attend this! What better way to spend a weekend then drinking coffee.
I would love to attend the Coffee Fair with free tickets – and the gift basket sounds awesome! I love drinking coffee and am interested in finding local coffee companies to support while learning about retro coffee brewing techniques and how to brew the “perfect cup”. Thank you!
Without the sacred bean …I know my existance would be void of all that is awesome.
My uncle is a coffee trader, my aunt is the president of the Pacific Coast Coffee Association, my grandfather worked for Cargil coffee…I am the product of a very coffee loving family! I missed my chance to go last year, but I hope to make it this year. Drip, french press, pour over, espresso, I cant get enough! My favorite roasters in Portland are Water Ave, Ristretto, and Oblique to name a few : )
Always thought coffee snobs were just that, until I attended a tasting… now I’m hooked! There IS a difference, Portland!!! Go support your local roasters, experience unique taste sensations, and take home some excellent beans!
Because I love all things coffee to a degree many would find troubling.
I would love to win tickets to the fair to understand the coffee world better and enjoy new variety of coffee!
A weekend tasting coffee in Portland, I can handle that!
Yes Please!
As an ex-barista and daily coffee consumer, this would make my day to win!
Awesome! I’d love to check it out.
Coffee is life! This sounds like an awesome event, please pick me!
I’m not much of a coffee drinker but would love to learn more about it!
I love coffee!!
It took many years and moving here to Portland to advance my coffee palate sensibilities from Yuban to Peet’s/Tulley’s. I had a bad cup of Stumptown’s once, that set back my coffee culinary quantum-leap quest considerably. Sure would appreciate an opportunity to remedy any false, first impression I may have gotten from one of our local roaster-brewers.
2 lbs of coffee please!
This would be so fun to attend, and the gift bag wouldn’t be so bad, either!
Oh yes!! Coffee please!
I luv coffee.
i’m heading to texas in december, where starbucks and folgers are the norm. help me get my fill before then (and be able to pack my own for the trip)!!
Drinking coffee is so last year. I only go for the coffee foam art.
My bf is a caffeine fiend.
I would love to go to this event. I am now hooked on the mango/cinnamon/earthy Portlandia coffee diatribe crap description of the coffees at Coava so a tradeshow will just mainline it…right?
Yes please–I live for coffee!!!!
Caffeinate me. You won’t be sorry.
The coffee fair is fantastic! I went a few years ago but would love to go back and bring the boyfriend. He loves his coffee and while he tries the different varieties, he has yet to dabble in the different brewing methods. (I’m not sure I’ve ever seen K&F in his cupboard – what a nice way to try it!)
What’s more, if we win tickets to the coffee fair, maybe I can convince him to take me to the zoo with the promise of warming up on some caffeine afterward :)
SOS! I need to be saved from the rainy days! My top two life-preserving items are coffee and books to help me make it through the dreary winter. I work in a library, so books are plentiful. But desperately need coffee to survive!
i cant get through my day without coffee!! would love to go to a coffee fair!
winning!
I’m a slave to the bean. I gotta get my hands on those tickets.
Give it to Jessica!
I love coffee and really want to attend this event.
This sounds like a wonderful event.
drg
I wanna go! I WANNA GO!!!! No caterings this weekend need something fun to do!!! But I do love the wonderful events I cook for thru Tavola Catering!!!
coffee goes great in mugs
Pick me! I’d love to see the coffee sights!
Coffee!! Please and thank you. That is all.
My husband started roasting coffee in my mother’s old stove top popcorn popper in 1978 or 9 using coffee that we had shipped to us from Sivetz in Corvallis. Since then, we have tried every coffeemaker and bean possible and would love the chance to experience the Fair. Thanks.
I’d like to attend to taste the differences in all of the different kinds of coffee!
I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN IF I WIN THE TICKETS!!!!
THE AROMA, TASTE , CUPS , VARIETY, OF COFFEE ARE ALL
MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD.
MY DAY DOES NOT START BEFORE MY COFFEE
PLS PICK ME ,ROBERTA
Greetings!
I’m a full time student getting ready to do the mid term study hustle this weekend. This would be a great way to take a study break and get a chance learn about what I am drink daily. Not to mention, get to know my community more!
I really want those tickets..i am a true coffee addict. My email is koffeenut, so what else can I say?
I love coffee..can’t start the day without it! And, my email address is koffeenut..so, doesn’t that say it all?? I really, really should get those tickets to the coffee fair!! Lisa
I adore coffee. Pleas grant me tickets Coffee Fairy. Please
Coffee gets me through my day! Its such a treat. This would be so fun!
the aroma is hitting me aaahhhhh!
My husband is from New Zealand and I need him to experience what we Northwesterners know as liquid gold!!!
I am a coffee fanatic and would love to go to this event!! My house is filled with coffee candles, coffee ice cream, coffee candy, and of course, hot, delicious, percolating coffee. What better place for me to go than the coffee fair?!
Coffeeeeeeeeeee!!! I so want to find out the best the NW has to offer! :)
coffee bliss….
I want to learn more about different brewing methods, and how to brew a better cup. I love coffee, and would be a blast.
Once again, I find myself without the essential knowledge one needs in order to live successfully among the free-range locovores of our fair metropolis; in this instance, an encyclopedic command of all things coffee-related. Send me to the lovely World Forestry Center where I will learn about terroirs, grinds, shade vs. sunny, and how to make an iced mocha latte, whatever that is. Then, the next time I to up to the counter at Stumptown on SW 3rd, I’ll know *exactly* what I’m ordering before striving in vain to find a vacant chair among the bike messengers and laptop-transfixed table spongers.
I love anything to do with coffee!
I have heard a lot about the Coffee Faire but lived so far away! Move to Portland a few days ago and this event is on my ‘welcome to Portland’ list! Tickets to take my daughter and get ‘tastes’ of wonderful flavors and meet people would be amazing!
Man I could really use those beans I just started a job on the night shift.
my husband loves coffee more than any other ingestible item (he’d live off of it if he could)
Please pick me! :) Coffee and water are the only things I drink, I love coffee! I hope to learn much more about coffee. Thank you for your consideration. :))
I haven’t been to the Forestry Center in 20 years, and now I drink coffee!
i don’t love anything more than i love coffee.
Could there be a more delicious fair!?
The Forestry Center is amazing and coffee is completely wonderful. Please give me a wonderful way to spend my first day off since who knows when?
This sounds so fun!
I LOVE my liquid black gold in the morning. It’s the only thing keeping me from being a total crabby pants. You would be doing society a favor by keeping me fueled by coffee…
Would love to learn more about local roasters and help support PDX businesses!
Caaaaaaaaaaan’t Wait for tomorrow! I love Coffeeeeeeeeeee! yeaaah! see you!
This event sounds awesome! I would love to go!
Coffee is AMAZING! Any day, anytime, I would love to learn more about it! Sounds like a great event!
Two reasons: #1 this event is at the World Forestry Center which I have never been but would love to see and #2 coffee is such an inherent part of PDX culture and I would love to learn more about my latte addiction!
If it wasn’t for coffee, I’d be dead right now.
Love coffee and would love to learn more about it! what a great way to spend the day!
I would love to go!
I would love to go. I have had a week and this would be a great way to forget it all.
I am a new roaster in town and would love to go to this to learn some tricks of the trade!
Steven
I love coffee!! I’ve been to this before and have been spreading the work to friends and co-workers. I thought I knew if all but learned a lot. I’ll be there anyway but it would be great to have “free” tickets for my husband and myself!!
This would a great event to meet liked minded folks that enjoy coffee. It also be a great opportunity to meet vendors and taste wonderful coffee.
I need the buzz caffeine gives me.
Yay 4 Coffee!
I ADORE coffee and I’m looking for something fun and stimulating to do this weekend. This sounds perfect!
I went, It was awesome, Had one hell of a buzz by the end!!! Amesome!!!!
