Mike O'Brian January 25th

If you need that cup of Joe to get you through the day then we have the best offer for you! Evidently the folks at Circle K wants you to try their new coffee brand. The convenient store Circle K is offering FREE coffee today only!

It’s not a bad way to start off your day, but The Mike & Carla Morning Show thought it was too good to be true. So, M&C decided to call a local Circle K to find out the deal and boy did they get a surprise. But before you knew it, listeners were calling in from all points in the Valley stoked about the deal!

According to an article published by BusinessWire, you can walk in and grab a cup of coffee that even Circle K is saying rivals any “barista” made cup! “At Circle K we’re really proud of the coffee we offer our customers and believe it stacks up against the world’s best cups of coffee. So proud, in fact, that we’re giving it away for free for everyone to give it a try,” said David Hall, vice president of global food service at Circle K.

Didn’t know this, but evidently, Circle K serves up over 120 million cups of coffee throughout the country annually. Now you might ask why is Circle K doing this? Well, the convenient store giant recently re-invested in their coffee brand.

They actually installed state-of-the-art bean-to-cup self-serve barista-quality type coffee machines in more that 7,000 locations throughout the country! And important for coffee drinkers to know, Circle K is now filling them up with only 100% sustainably sourced premium coffee beans!

You still have time to take advantage of the offer. But we also invite you to take a couple of minutes to listen to the segment from this morning.! Have fun, drink up and of course, enjoy!

20 Best Coffee Shops In Las Vegas

I think it’s safe to say that coffee is often a saving grace. And Las Vegas coffee shops have definitely helped us recover after a night out.

It’s truly the perfect beverage that’s available in multiple mediums. Hot, iced, sweet, bitter, frothy or blended; coffee can quench any type of caffeine craving.

Coffee is also a ritual for many of us, often signifying as the gong that starts our day. When we smell the brewing beans and hear the bubbling noise of the carburetor, memories are often pulled from the back of our minds about cornerstone moments in our lives.

Along with the memories and conversations that are associated with the amazing beverage, coffee is also a symbol in many cultures. Whether it’s the brewing method or the type of beans being used, coffee — like most things — vary across the world.

There are four types of coffee beans: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa. And according to CoffeeAffection.com, Arabica and Robusta are the most common and popular type of beans.

Arabica is known for having a smooth and complex flavor with a distinct lack of bitterness. Robusta, often associated with Vietnamese coffee, has a stronger and bolder flavor with a higher hint of bitterness laced within the coffee’s profile.

The other and less common coffee beans, Liberica and Excelsa, have different flavor notes and are grown in Africa and Asia.

According to CoffeeAffection, Liberica beans “has a controversial and polarizing reputation for wild inconsistency. Those who’ve tried this rare variety either love it or hate it.”

Some have described the flavor as nutty, woody and “burnt,” with a backbite.

Excelsa beans have qualities that are a mixture of light and dark roast traits. These beans have tart and fruity flavors with a lighter aroma. Yet, these beans still have a depth of flavor.

There’s also a science to the coffee brewing process that emphasizes and brings out certain flavors of the beans, which you can read more about here.

To celebrate our love of coffee, here are some of the best shops in Vegas.
