Morning BrewCast: Fun Coffee Talk

  The Morning BrewCast gals were happy to try out the newest product from Oregon Cafe. Sent to Jennifer as a Klout Perk, she was more than happy to share the love with Jackie. Especially since Jennifer didn’t have the required milk in order to give this a try. We do hope Oregon Cafe comes out with a BOLD version. We think a strong coffee taste is exactly what these coffee gals would enjoy.                                                            

The Morning BrewCast Gals try out the latest West Coast coffee sensation: Blue Bottle. Jackie shares a recent post about how Dunkin Donuts is spraying South Korean city buses with coffee smell in advance of a bus stops that have Dunkin Donuts shops. We ponder the intrusive nature of Coffee SmellRadio. Jennifer once again asks for a Coffee Butler service.

    The Coffee Gals chat were inspired to record a show after seeing a post about optimal caffeine consumption by ScienceBlogs. Jennifer and Jackie also chat about the search for a coffee cuff and Jackie shares the benefits to being a member of the Starbucks My Rewards Program. We are now in our 7th year of the Morning BrewCast and appreciate your continued listenership. Cheers!

Today we draw the winner that will join us for a coffee tasting at What’s Brewing. This lucky Morning BrewCast listener will discover what $320/lb coffee tastes like as we sample Bantai Civet Coffee. A special hat tip to Susan Price of Firecat Studio who picked the winner, Michael Madison. Want to be a part of the coffee tasting? Then check out the live video stream on Ustream.tv of the coffee tasting. Join us for some high dollar coffee fun!

The Coffee Gals have a special treat for our listeners. We are pleased to interview Dustin Butler of Bantai Civet Coffee. Dustin shares the story behind the coffee that costs $320 lb. Commonly called “weasel poop” coffee, the real story behind the Bantai Civet Coffee is one of conservation of land, endangered species and successful farming for native tribes. Everyone wins in this story, especially coffee aficionados. When Dustin was kind enough to donate a 4oz batch of this premium and high priced blend to the Morning BrewCast an idea was born. We knew we would have to record a live tasting of the Bantai Civet Coffee, so why not invite one of our listeners to join us for this special treat? We devised a way to make this both a fun experience as well as one that could benefit the Julia Campbell Memorial Park where the coffee is grown and “harvested”. Win the chance to be on the Morning BrewCast when we try the Bantai Civet Coffee with Dustin Butler at What’s Brewing in San Antonio, TX. For every Ten Dollar donation receive an entry for the opportunity to sit down and have a cup or two of the Bantai Civet Coffee (aka weasel poop coffee). Donations will be sent directly to the Julia Campbell Memorial Park where the coffee is “produced”. Winner will be announced Wednesday, June 3rd. Out of town winners will have coffee shipped to them and will be Skyped in for the tasting on Saturday. Click here to donate and enter a chance to join us for the special live show of the Bantai Civet Coffee We can’t wait to enjoy this special brew with you!
