Coffee + Beer = A Perfect Match?

Writing for two separate (coffee industry) blogs on a daily basis can lead to a lot of days where we’re left searching for ideas that our customers and followers will find to be interesting. It’s not too often we find a topic that works for both the followers of of at-home blog, as well as our office-coffee-service based blog; but today was one of those beautiful days where a topic comes up that we think all off our readers (on both blogs) might find interesting. I mean, when the words “Dogfish Head Beer” show up, and are coffee related, it opens up some eyes, because we’re 100% positive that there are many of you out there who had no idea that coffee and beer could even go together, as well as an entire community of beer geeks (said with the utmost respect, as I am one myself) who will have

We’ll be posting something that’s a throwback to a simpler time. Maybe a classic coffee ad, maybe a training video from an original Keurig Brewing System, but today, we’re going back in time at Corporate Essentials.Here’s a marketing video featuring Judson Kleinman and the Corporate Essentials team from 2000. Even though some things in the video clip may seem a little dated by today’s standards, some things remain the same; we provide products that boost employee morale and productivity:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right”

Our friends over at SingleServeCoffee.com recently posted some information on a new product that we really felt the need to share. This brand new disposable coffee cup, appropriately called Compleat features an all-paper design which includes a built-in lid and sipping spout.The SingleServeCoffee.com post goes on to provide some interesting stats on how the Compleat cup may be able to make enjoying your cup of coffee a little more “green.” According to SSC, we probably use 3-5 disposable cups per week, many of those with a disposable lid. Now imagine that everytime one of those paper cups are thrown out, a plastic lid is included with it.The Compleat cup does not yet have an official launch date, but their plan is to initially target coffee retailers.
