Expo’s Greatest Scavenger Hunt<\/h3>\n

Houston, we have a mission for you!<\/p>\n

The coffee universe is vast, encompassing roasters, brewers, and much, much more. It’s your job to explore it leaving no galaxy uncharted.<\/p>\n

Across the Expo show floor are nine brands with pins to discover. Follow the clues, and collect the pins. The more you adventure, the more you uncover. Three who complete the challenge will be rewarded with treasures.<\/p>\n
