Updated on Feb 19, 2013

At Brown & Jenkins Coffee Roasters we hold a lot of community events and are always looking to "think outside the cup" to showcase our coffee in different ways. This is a community favorite. The taste of coffee further enriches this already lush pot of chili. Tradition suggests adding cinnamon, but fine ground coffee is even better.
