Yesterday I started my morning with a smooth, rich, piping hot cup of coffee. Of course, it’s important to note that said coffee had been freshly brewed hours earlier some 1500 miles away.
So how did coffee prepared by Denver’s Boxcar Coffee Roasters arrive at my humble Carolina home still hot and delicious? The secret is a Genuine Thermos Brand vacuum-insulated bottle. They’re designed to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold for 24 hours, and I can certainly attest to the former.
In recent months, Thermos Brand has been delivering some of the nation’s best coffee to lucky fans around the country – world-class joe from the likes of Ritual Coffee Roasters (San Francisco), Spyhouse Coffee (Minneapolis) and Octane Coffee (Atlanta) – as a part of their Overnight Coffee Challenge promotion. Thus far Thermos and its coffee shop partners have brewed and shipped more than 3,640 ounces of coffee in nearly 100 Thermos Brand bottles to more than 65 different cities, traveling a total distance of more than 155,000 miles.
If you’d care to toss your name into the wholly metaphorical hat for a chance to win some of your own, head to Facebook.com/Thermos for more info, and share your thoughts via Twitter/Facebook by using #OvernightCoffee. It’s just one more way to stay warm and energized during the hectic holiday season, compliments of your friends at Thermos Brand.
Sorry, I have to say that in the days of climate change and the growing slow-food/eat-locally movement that this is an incredibly bad, outrageously wasteful idea.
