FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 20, 2016) \u2013 Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast<\/a> will celebrate 2016\u2019s National Coffee Day in a big way, think Big Island Hawaiian big.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Sept. 29, beginning at 6 a.m., Bennett\u2019s downtown Fort Myers and Sanibel locations will offer free coffee, including Hawaiian Kona Prime 12-ounce brewed coffee, all day while supplies last.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew coffee roasters have ever offered free Hawaiian Kona Prime,\u201d said Bennett\u2019s owner Bob Grissinger. \u201cKona is recognized among coffee connoisseurs worldwide as the best coffee grown anywhere, and we will roast this extremely costly coffee in-house to celebrate National Coffee Day and the most extraordinary coffee experience our customers have ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Grissinger, each customer will be offered a complimentary 12-ounce in-house cup or 12-ounce to-go cup of Bennett\u2019s outstanding fresh roasted Hawaiian Kona Prime or Colombian coffee in bold, mild or decaf.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s is known as the premier in-shop coffee roaster in Southwest Florida. Both Fort Myers and Sanibel shops skillfully roast its coffee in micro batches as soon as the day before it\u2019s ground, brewed and served, avoiding off flavors like bitterness and rancidity so often present in coffee roasted by less experienced roasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cone-hundred percent Kona Prime is a smaller bean grown in rich volcanic soil, kissed by the Hawaiian sun,\u201d he said. \u201cCharacteristic rich Kona aroma and bright flavor reflects why this bean is one of the best in the world. Well-balanced with a medium\u00a0body, it is clean in the cup with a bright and cheerful\u00a0acidity. Kona coffee often reveals buttery as well as spicy qualities and subtle winey tones with an excellent aromatic\u00a0finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kona coffee is the market name for coffee (coffea arabica<\/em>) cultivated on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the North and South Kona Districts of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Only coffee from the Kona Districts can be described as \u201cKona.\u201d The weather of sunny mornings, cloud or rain in the afternoon, little wind, and mild nights combined with porous, mineral-rich volcanic soil create favorable coffee growing conditions.<\/p>\n

National Coffee Day is celebrated annually on Sept. 29. People across the U.S. celebrate one of the most beloved morning beverages on this day. There are many\u00a0legendary\u00a0accounts of how coffee first came to be, but the earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or the knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0century in the\u00a0SUFI<\/em>\u00a0monasteries around Mokha in Yemen. It was there where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed, similarly to how\u00a0it is prepared today. Yemeni traders brought coffee back to their homeland from Ethiopia and began to cultivate the seed.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast has prided itself on its fresh-from-scratch donuts made daily and being the only Fort Myers donut shop to serve fresh roasted coffee from the finest beans, resulting in the most flavorful and freshest cup of coffee around.<\/p>\n

In addition to fresh roasted coffee and hand-cut-from-scratch donuts, Bennett\u2019s also offers fresh desserts from Grissinger\u2019s own recipe book including praline bread pudding and lemon bars, giving area residents an alternative for afternoon treats. It also features packaged whole bean or ground coffees, breakfast muffins, oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches. On the weekends, Bennett\u2019s Strata, a layered baked breakfast dish, is a regular sellout at its downtown location, while the Strata is available every day on Sanibel. The Sanibel shop also offers a pancake dish for breakfast. Tea lovers may choose from a large variety of Harney & Sons Fine Teas. Lunch offerings, including paninis, soups, sandwiches, three signature salads and Bennett\u2019s \u2018Lobster Roll,\u2019 \u2018Chicken & Donut\u2019 and \u2018Donut Dog,\u2019 are available Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bennett\u2019s Sanibel location also offers Artisan Gelato by Norman Love daily beginning at 11 a.m. until closing.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s downtown Fort Myers shop is located at 2011 Bayside Parkway and is open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Its Sanibel shop is located at 1020 Periwinkle Way and is open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
