SCAA attendees can browse (and buy) books by coffee authors Susan Zimmer, Mark Pendergrast, and Tim Castle at “Books and BUNN” while enjoying a complimentary espresso beverage from the BUNN Espress Tiger. The authors will be featured at an SCAA education session called "Penning the Perfect Cup: Writing About Coffee," from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Sunday, April 19, in room A403 of the Georgia World Congress Center. Long-time friend of specialty coffee Margaret Swallow will moderate a discussion among these three popular authors, who will explain their very different approaches to the subject of coffee. After the session, from 12:30 to 4 p.m., the authors will meet trade show attendees and sign books at “Books and BUNN” Booth 124.
