The best coffee scene from a movie award goes to

Steve Martin in Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.

This special post goes out to Jack and John, who if they keep their word will now “come in wearing ballerina dresses and sing old show tunes.”

Hey John, Take-it-easy.

An outlaw, caffeine and retro trailer

In partnership with Drew’s Brews, Nashville’s roaster extraordinaire, we showed up for the Willie Nelson concert ready to feed the caffeine frenzy. Not sure what to expect, we were surprised at our popularity! Our limited power supply and one drip brewer couldn’t keep up with the Willie crowd, but we learned quickly how to serve a large crowd and are ready to cater your next event.

The trailer is 50’s model that has been meticulously gutted and rebuilt with coffee and espresso stained wood, truly a labor of love by Drew and friends.

Thanks to Paul Rinkes at http://rinkesphotography.com for snapping this photo. Find a few of our own here, sorry none of Willie – we were too busy making coffee!

Also serving Willie was Mas Tacos, an idea so “simple, so obvious, so brilliant, so…diabolical!…that I’m kicking myself for not thinking of it first” as Jack referred to it on the Nashville Scene Bites blog. We couldn’t wait to try Teresa’s brilliant idea and were not disappointed.

A friend passed this along, a coffee grounds powered truck! Could we be the key to the renewable energy crisis?

We gotz scoot parking!

EXTRA SPACE

Trade your four wheels for two

This Friday, May 9th is Bike to Work day. Bikers across Nashville will commute in to downtown and meet at the Schermerhorn plaza. Check out the details here: http://www.walkbikenashville.org/

While on the Walk/Bike Nashville website check out the results from the 4th Great Commuter Race that pitted a biker, a car and the Music City Star against each other! CREMA was pleased to provide coffee for this event.

Just maybe we’ll have a couple free cups of coffee for anyone that stops by on their bikes on friday!

Drew's Brews & Blues Clues

First, for those who don’t know master Drew, a bit of background on the master. He was the master, best of the best, coffee roaster for Bongo Java Nashville for a long, long time. He knows his coffee. He’s now sitting on his own empire of coffee admires who await his fresh roasted beans, daily. Bean heads, check it out: http://www.drewsbrewscoffee.com/.

Speaking of addictions, why can’t I stop watching Blues Clues? Shouldn’t this be easy? Early one Saturday I’m enjoying my cup of Drew’s Moka Harar, a blissful morning, and the next moment my mind is erased by a small children’s educational show.
