H&C Coffee Talk Newsletter

Fall 2022

Welcome coffee lover!
- We are so glad you are here! This is the kickoff of our new, monthly H&C Coffee Talk Newsletter. This newsletter will provide you with coffee news, company information, announcements for upcoming events, updates on past events, current promotions, new products, and much more. So, cozy up with your favorite mug filled with H&C Coffee and enjoy!

Merchandise Highlight:
- Speaking of mugs…. we are anxiously awaiting our new mug shipment arriving in November. Keep a lookout for the upcoming announcement. These mugs are going to make the best Christmas presents! But for now, we still have a few 2022 mugs left in stock.
  - If you don’t know anything about our mugs, we have some options. We still have our timeless and classic H&C Mug but if you haven’t seen our new collection, you’ve got to check it out! For the newer collection, we’ve partnered with an awesome company called Deneen Pottery to create these beauties. Each mug is handcrafted in the USA and, although very similar, no two are exactly the same. These mugs are dishwasher, freezer, oven, and microwave-safe, too. And from a coffee-lover to a coffee-lover, my Deneen mug is my absolute favorite that I’ve ever owned. The best thing about the Deneen mugs is that you get a FREE 1lb. bag of H&C coffee to go with them!

Office Happenings:
- If you haven’t stopped by to see us in a while you may be pleasantly surprised upon entering the office. We just finished up renovations on the main floor of the office and are working on few other ongoing projects throughout the building. We have walk-in hours Monday through Friday from 8 AM 5 PM (closed for lunch from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM). While picking up your favorite H&C coffee, you can enjoy a cup of fresh brewed coffee from our in-house Bean-to-Cup Machine. This remarkable machine grinds the perfect amount of H&C whole bean coffee right before brewing your perfect cup of hot coffee.
  - Office location: 1512 Hollins Road, Roanoke, VA 24012

Past Events:
- August was a busy month for Quality Coffee Company and when one of our favorite events occurred, Big Lick Comic Con! Our H&C Coffee booth provided free, fresh-brewed hot coffee to patrons and staff all weekend, but the best part was that we got to meet some awesome characters!

If you missed Big Lick Comic Con this year, you’re in luck, as they have already announced their return on February 11 – 12, 2023. We’d love to see you there!

Upcoming Events:
- Calling all Halloween lovers! Creeping up is another exciting (but kind of terrifying) event that we sponsor and love! Blue Ridge Nightmares is just around the corner, with opening night on September 30th. A true Roanoke Halloween favorite, this artistic haunted attraction has replicated several historic local businesses within its 40,000 square foot warehouse. As a bonus this year, H&C Coffee has a spooky surprise that will be available for purchase at the gate. More information to come in the October Newsletter! For more details about the event and ticket sales, check out the website HERE.

This month’s featured employee is Leon, our full-time Service Technician here at Quality Coffee Company. Leon started in November 2021 and boy, does he have a knack for repairs! Leon’s favorite things about his job are getting to meet new people on the customer service calls, his co-workers, and working on the Bean-to-Cup machines. His favorite coffee is H&C Columbian, and he takes his coffee with cream and sugar. Leon’s favorite hobby outside of work is, of course, riding his Harley! A special shoutout to Leon and all that he does for the company!

Be your own H&C Coffee barista:
- Fall Inspired Coffee Recipe
  - If our H&C coffee is a year-round staple at your house but you’re looking for a way to incorporate some seasonal flavors into your coffee routine, we have an easy fall inspired recipe for you. You don’t have to have fancy barista skills or equipment for this one and it’s easy on the wallet!

DIY H&C Coffee Salted Caramel Latte

Drizzle some caramel syrup around the inside bottom and sides of your mug or cup (I used a clear mug because it beautifully showed off the caramel swirl).
In a separate microwave safe container that has a lid that fits (I used a Mason jar for this), add your milk, place the lid on tight and shake the jar until the milk becomes foamy.
Next, remove the lid and microwave the milk for 30 seconds.
Stir the vanilla extract or vanilla syrup into the brewed coffee and pour it into the prepared mug or cup. (If you like a sweeter coffee, add your sugar or sweetener at this point.)
Pour the warm foamy milk on top of the coffee, top with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel syrup, and sprinkle with course ground salt.

Warm coffee cheers!
