Free Coffee at Java Brewing

by Pam G » Mon Apr 16, 2007 10:46 am

There was an ad with the 4/13/07 Business First for Central Bank. I was wrapped around the paper. The ad states that you can get free coffee at the downtown locations of Java Brewing. You have to ask for the Central Bank Blend.

Java Brewing Company
This week, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Free coffee at their downtown locations:
462 4th Street in Meidinger Tower
516 West Main

Interesting article in today's CJ about barista traing and coffee cupping in Seattle.

Once again the left coast is leading the coffee revolution.
Time for us in Louisville to step up to the plate!

Matthew, I appreciate your passion for coffee and your desire for training for baristas, but Consumers Choice Coffee does offer training for wannabe baristas in Louisville and the surrounding area.

Consumers Choice Coffee offers classes trained by not one, not two, but THREE master baristas!! Consumers Choice Coffee offers classes on coffee background, barista training and Gold Cup certification. We have developed more Gold Cup recepients than any other coffee company in the United States. In fact 2 of our baristas taught the Beginning Espresso, Intermediate Espresso, and Advanced Espresso classes at the Specialty Coffee Association of America conference in Charlotte last April. And we served as judges at the national Barista Championship. We were asked to do the same this year in Long Beach, but the conference is the same week as Derby Week. Just can't get away!!

So if anyone is interested to learn more about coffee or to fine tune your barista skills, e-mail me and I'll share the detals.

So Louisville is stepping up to the plate and we are ready to slam some home runs.

Glad to hear from you again David.
I had no idea you guys were doing trainings.
I think it's time to pull together all the coffee professionals here in Louisville to see how we can develop and inspire people about coffee.

Maybe a Louisville coffee retailers association?

I was near the 4th St. Java Brewing Co today so I stopped in for a free coffee. I spied that they were advertising the deal on one side of their sidewalk sandwich board, but that side was up against the exterior wall, not facing pedestrian traffic. So I walked in and in a friendly way said, "Hi, I understand you're doing free coffee?" and the woman behind the counter answered, "No, we're not DOING free coffee; if you're from Central Bank we have free Central Bank coffee mugs, and we'll fill it with coffee for free."

I responded confusedly, "So, isn't that free coffee?" and was again met with the phrase, "If you're from Central Bank," so I responded, "Well, I saw the ad that said..." and was cut off with a curt "OK" and offered free coffee in a Central Bank mug.

Whew! I have no idea what it means to be "from" Central Bank (employee? a just-arrived customer?), but you definitely need to mention the magic words "the ad" to get the deal! I didn't think my slang use of the verb "do" would cause me so much trouble :)

On the downside, it's a travel-size coffee mug, which is twice as much coffee as I usually ever drink, and since I had it in front of me, I drank most of it before I realized what I was doing, so now I'm WIRED with a headache. I was going to try Derby City Espresso's free cup as well today, but I think that has to wait until tomorrow!
