Coffee never fails us, so take the time to show coffee the appreciation it deserves during Specialty Coffee Week—which brings tastings, workshops and competitions to Sacramento coffee shops. Sip coffee cocktails in the Battle of the Brews (at Bottle & Barlow), take a palate development class or become the best barista you can be. Show your friends you can brew a mean cup during the Sacramento Aeropress Competition (Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters), or take part in the Coffee Infused Dinner Fundraiser (also Chocolate Fish), which raises money for Guatemalan school projects. Coffee fuels your life; take this week to show it some love. Bottle & Barlow: 1120 R Street, Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, 4749 Folsom Boulevard, and more locations, www.specialtycoffeeweek.com.
