+# The Remote Roast Club
+
+This was an [assembly](https://events.ccc.de/2012/10/22/assemblies/) by a coffee enthusiast for coffee enthusiasts. People could chat about topics from coffee beans, origins and varieties to brewing methods and coffee robots. Two (technically three) workshops showed people how to get the best out of their coffee with the equipment they already have.
