Crimson Cup Coffee House Shares Hand-Brewed Coffee Samples, Coffee-Lover Gift Ideas to Celebrate Small Business Saturday

Crimson Cup Coffee House, 4541 N. High Street in Clintonville, invites shoppers to stop by for hand-brewed coffee samples and coffee-lover gift ideas from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30.

"Anyone who'd like to learn more about hand-brewed coffees should stop by for a complimentary sample," said Bob Cervas, Brew Bar manager. "You'll be amazed at how hand- brewing brings out the naturally sweet and subtly nuanced flavors of our locally roasted origin coffees."

Two Guatemalan coffees will be hand-brewed for samples throughout the day: Jorge's pick, a 100 percent Bourbon Blend, and El Pintado - the only organic, Certified Antigua coffee.

Crimson Cup baristas will prepare samples at the Crimson Cup Brew Bar to help demonstrate hand-brewing with the Chemex and Hario v60. "We'll be pairing the best brewing method with each coffee," Cervas explained.

"If you have a coffee lover on your gift list, we'll be happy to recommend hand-brewing systems and other great gifts," he said. "You'll also want to check out our signature ceramic mugs, extensive range of hand-roasted coffees and premium loose-leaf teas."

Cervas said gift certificates for group coffee tastings are also a popular gift this year "People really enjoy trying out different coffees and brewing methods," he said. "It's a great way to spend time with family and friends while discovering your very favorite java."
