MBC #57: Interview with Dustin Butler of Bantai Civet Coffee
Posted by the second brain | Posted in Coffee Chat, Contest, Events, Guest Show, Podcasts, Promos, Tasting, Tidbit | Posted on 26-05-2009
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.

We can’t wait to enjoy this special brew with you!
Cheers,

MBC #55 Sunday Morning Coffee

Sunday Morning Coffee
Jackie and Jennifer were having a delicious cup of brew and chatting on a nice Sunday morning. So the desire to record hit. Thanks to the ease of BlogTalkRadio we were able to put a show out.
• A good friend of the show, Michael De Leon, sent us a link to the site, “Death by Caffeine”. We discover just how much caffeine it would take to kill Jennifer.
• Starbucks has created their own unique “soluble” version of instant coffee which will come out on March 3rd.
• We really like the Crop to Cup concept of creating a closer and more intimate connection between the farmer growing the beans and the coffee in our cups.

Breakfast and Denny’s "Feed America" Day
Posted by the second brain | Posted in Coffee Chat, On the Road, Podcasts | Posted on 03-02-2009
Jackie and Jennifer are at the Denny’s on the North side of town. Since Denny’s announced during the Superbowl that it wants to feed America, we thought we would do our part to help them.
The coffee was solid, the service was excellent and the staff still smiling and chipper. Kudos to you Denny’s!
