This past weekend, after already spending time in Seattle for Coffee Fest, I found myself northwest of Louisville once more. This time, I was a mere five hours away in the Windy City. What's a coffee nut to do, you ask? Why, head on over to Intelligentsia's Millennium Park Coffeebar, of course!

Later, Louisville — Chicago hollered and we hauled off! Coffee Fest is just hours away and we're finally here, ready to roll.

It's been a heckuva weekend but, as Nelly Furtado once told me, all good things come to an end. Let's take a teary-eyed look at what happened on our last day at Coffee Fest Chicago.

And we’re off! Day one of Coffee Fest Chicago was all sorts of crazy. A dozen coffees and a pile of pizza later, we're feeling a second wind and we're ready to take on the weekend. First, a look back at Friday’s festivities.

Cruising to Coffee Fest this week? Check out Frisbee Fest, the unofficial Coffee Fest halftime show. This weekend, we're taking a break from the exhibit hall to just plain play. Our game of choice? Ultimate frisbee.

Chicago has more than one claim to fame. It's home to Michael Jordan, the Magnificent Mile, Obama, and Da Bears. And it's a great coffee city, too. But when any foodie visits the Windy City, their sights are on one thing: pizza. Let us buy you a slice!

Coffee Fest is behind us, but we're still reeling from awesomeness overload. If you missed out on the exciting weekend, we'll bring you up to speed with this mini documentary.

Ah, a new day. It’s smooth sailing from here. We’ve learned the lay of the land, found a rhythm, and – most remarkably – caught up on sleep. So what went down on day two?
