Definitions three and four most apply here. Lacey, Wash.-based coffee equipment and accessory seller Espresso Parts is teaming up with Seattle-based cannabis accoutrements seller Trichome to present the Elevated Coffee Experience, a celebration of cannabis and coffee.

The two-night event is being held in conjunction with the upcoming SCAA 2015 event in Seattle, beginning Friday, April 10, at Trichome’s International District location. Seattle roaster Anchorhead Coffee will be serving two espresso-based drinks: espresso and cannabis oil; and a macchiato-style drink with espresso, milk and cannabis oil. The following night, the Espresso Parts team will be serving pour overs with Anchorhead coffees, also infused with cannabis oil.

The event is free and open only to SCAA attendees (age 21+), although the companies are planning to leverage the expectedly high turnout for some good by collecting $5 donations, the proceeds from which will go to the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, a waterway protection group.
