Penn State's Coffee Club, led by President Mackenna Yount, is a hub for coffee enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of the beverage and its cultural significance. The club holds regular meetings where members get to enjoy coffee while learning about various coffee-related topics, such as water chemistry and its impact on taste, and explore coffees from different regions and cultures. Treasurer Youssef Boshra-Riad emphasizes the club's welcoming nature, and event planner Riley McKean highlights the educational aspect, with hands-on brewing sessions. The club's activities include an annual coffee crawl with local cafés, a formal event, collaborative events with Penn State’s School of Hospitality Management, and potentially new traditions like attending the New York Coffee Convention. The club's aim is to foster a great community while expanding experiences in coffee culture.
