Jo To Go Coffee Customers Invited to Enter 'Save the Brew™' Contest

Posted on August 07, 2007 by Bill Dube

Green Bay, WI— One specialty coffee drink connoisseur will win $500 Jo To Go Dollars and share their favorite coffee concoction with Jo To Go Coffee® customers nationwide as winner of the “Save the Brew” contest. 

The specialty coffee franchise is accepting original coffee drink entries until August 14, 2007. Recipes are limited to the flavor shots, chocolate and caramel that are available at Jo To Go Coffee®.  All ingredients are measured in shots; one shot is equal to one ounce. The entries will be narrowed down to three finalists by a panel of seasoned taste-testers.

From August 21st – 31st, 2007,  Jo To Go Coffee® customers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite concoction, and will ultimately determine the winner. Beginning August 21st, customers who wish to cast a vote for their favorite recipe can see the three recipe finalists on the Jo To Go Coffee® blogspot.  In addition to bragging rights, the winner’s Rapid Rewards Card will be credited with $500, and their drink will be featured at Jo To Go Coffee® locations nationwide for the month of October.

            Matt Bogenschutz, Jo To Go Coffee® Marketing Coordinator, commented that creativity will likely play a key role in determining the winner. He offered the following tips:

• Come up with a unique combination of ingredients that aren’t already featured as drinks on the Jo To Go Coffee® menu.
• Taste your drink. Sometimes the flavor combinations in your imagination don’t translate well to the coffee cup. If you request it, your coffee bartender will make your latte any way you want it.  All ingredients are measured in shots. One shot is equal to one ounce.
• Pay attention to the name. A jazzy name like Jo’s Jolted Jack ‘o’ Lantern will be more apt to catch the panel’s attention than White Chocolate Pumpkin Latte.
