Local caffeination
When you live in Seattle, coffee is a part of life. In addition to the national giants, there are lots of amazing local coffee purveyors in town too. So when circumstances brought us to Denver, we were curious to see whether Denver could keep up - and pleasantly relieved to see that it did. But beyond simply good-tasting coffee, we've found in Denver a brand that just tickles us from a trademark perspective - Dazbog Coffee Company.
Dazbog was founded by Soviet immigrant brothers Anatoly and Leonid Yuffa, who have strived to honor their Russian heritage, or as they say, "honor the past and enjoy the present," by making great coffee branded with names that call that heritage to mind both respectfully and satirically.
It's damn good coffee. But what I really love is the branding. We're currently midway through a bag of KGBlend, and there are Russian Roulette and Kremlin blends; as for the more Dr. Zhivago-romantic nomenclature, we have White Nights Espresso and Hermitage House blend, among others (although what I'd really love to see is an Old Nehamkin blend).
Cnacubo, Dazbog. (That's my attempt at writing "thank you" in Russian, since apparently my blogging software still thinks there's a cold war on when it comes to using the Cyrillic alphabet).
