Mark Overbay, Counter Culture Coffee

Counter Culture Coffee wishes everyone a wonderful, perfectly tamped holiday season!

TerryZ and crew, Espresso Parts NW

Espressoparts.com is offering members of HB a 10% discount for purchases of over $25.00. Simply enter "HB2007" during checkout in the coupon code area. The discount applies to parts and accessories only. Specifically this discount does not apply to equipment. However a phone call will always result in some great banter with regards to better equipment pricing.

Gene Lemos, Vaneli's Inc.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Holiday Season and would like to extend to all HB members a 5% discount on any online purchase! Please use coupon code HB5 at checkout.

Q. How do I redeem my prize?

A. Each sponsor has different ordering systems, see the prize description for instructions. In general, the Holiday and Surprise are redeemed using a coupon code. To help the sponsor validate your claim, each winning entry has a unique "redemption code" known only to the winner and the awarding sponsor; typically they request you enter this code in a comments field of the order along with your HB login name. The redemption codes are displayed in the middle column of the Official Results. You must be logged in to see the redemption codes associated with your entries.

Sponsors may need to contact you via your HB account e-mail. Confirm your Profile e-mail is valid and "Always show my e-mail address" is Yes. This enables an HB member to contact you via the site's e-mail form:



Note: Your e-mail address itself is not publicly viewable, period. This profile option simply enables the e-mail form button.

Q. Is it just coincidence that I won a surprise twice and that each time, it was the SponsorX offer that was next in line to be awarded AND, since I had won that prize already, I am not eligible to win it again ... ever.

A. The awarding sponsor is selected at random. If this results in a previously awarded sponsor, no prize (and it counts towards your entry every four hours limit).

Q. Does the web site entry that I use affect the drawing prize awarded?

A. The website entry you use has no bearing on the awarding sponsor.

Q. Does the "Already Won Something" response count as one of my tries, or is it discarded and I should try again?

A. Yes, it counts.

Q. If I had won a Surprise from SponsorX and then had later won a Delight from SponsorX, would I get both, or would the Delight be disqualified because I had already won a surprise from this company?

A. You COULD get both unless the sponsor specifically says otherwise.

Q. How long is the Holiday Wish List going to run? Until every prize is won? Until a certain date?

A. Until the Holiday Gifts are gone or December 16th, which ever comes first.

Q. How long are the coupons good for?

A. Unless stated otherwise, the Delight and Surprise discounts are valid for seven days from the day they are awarded.

Q. The rules state: "[participants] must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. resident of the 48 lower states." Why isn't the contest for all members?

A. Short answer: The sponsors' concerns about shipping, post-sales service, and promotional value. Longer answer: Some of the sponsors do regularly ship product overseas (e.g., espressoparts.com, Paradise Roasters), but most do not. While the sponsors are showing good holiday spirit by supplying free product, one purpose of this contest is to promote awareness of their company and increase potential sales. All the sponsors are based in the US, hence the sales potential outside the 48 states is very small.

First off, Adam is not new to PT's Coffee Roasting Co, as he started working for the company 3 years ago as a barista in our original store here in Topeka. He learned the ins and outs of our La Bella Vita espresso blend and quickly ascended to 'Rockstar' status. He has a diverse food background and can easily pick up on the subtleties of organic ingredients. One day, when Bryan and I were having a 'roaster vs. barista' discussion, I caught Adam as he was walking through the office. I asked him if his identity was more tied up in roasting or being a barista to which he said "My identity is as a dad first, and then as a culinary artist". To him, whether it's a coffee or food, it's all 'cooking' of some variety and that's where his passion lies. His current medium for expression is roasting, which he loves and gives his all. He said of his transition from barista-hood to roasting that one of the biggest things that he has learned is that he has more control over the end result than he ever did as a barista. There are numerous nuances that he never had a concept of in his stint at the store. "Every coffee is completely its own and requires unique attention" he said while we were discussing the science and art of roasting. When he talks about his newfound craft, his passion and excitement are contagious, and it translates directly into beauty of the brew.

Klatch WBC Competition Espresso wins Best Espresso in World at the WBC championships.
After months of shooting shots, substituting beans, tweaking roasts and blend percentages, we have an espresso we are in love with. It features three beans: Brazil Yellow Bourbon, Sumatra Lake Tawar, and an Ethiopian Natural. Each is roasted separately then blended together for peak flavor. The crema from two naturals and a semi washed is thick and reddish brown. When ran at 25 to 28 seconds, your first taste is chocolate and citrus with orange being the prominent citrus. Your second and final sip will turn syrupy sweet with wine like berry and spice adding to the mix. Strong enough to cut through the milk but so delicious you'll want to drink shot after shot of straight espresso.

Paradise Roasters roasts to order. Coffee is at its peak the first week out of the roaster. After which it rapidly loses its aroma and flavor. That is why we roast coffee only AFTER you place your order. We then ship the coffee within 24 hours of roasting so that we can provide you with a fresh, great tasting coffee.

Our coffees are artisan roasted daily in small batches. We take our time developing the subtle flavors and distinct nuance of each variety to give you the freshest, most deeply flavorful cup of coffee possible.
