Coffee is an integral part of life for many of us; it kickstarts each morning as an important ritual and meeting point between family, friends, and community leaders alike. That’s why Valley Cities Behavioral Health Care has designed their quarterly Community Coffee Chat series as an avenue for tackling important topics like the Fentanyl crisis.

Community Coffee Company was established in 1919 and has grown into one of America’s premier family-owned and operated coffee retailers. Its roots can be traced to Henry Norman “Cap” Saurage’s general store in Baton Rouge – its name and coffee origin both stem from here. Today, its presence can be found across hospitals, restaurants, coffeehouses and grocery stores nationwide.

For optimal results, we suggest using a slow drip pot. Community Coffee Dark Roast should be prepared light if drinking it black, while it should be made heavier when added cream and sugar. A Bunn or Krup maker tends to overheat coffee and eliminate its flavor; slow, flat basket pots are your best bet when it comes to Community Coffee Dark Roast brewing.
