Java Dawg Coffee becomes the Official Roaster
of Time Bandit Captain's Blend Coffee

No one knows the importance of a great cup of coffee more than an Alaskan crab boat captain. Plying the perilous waters of the Bering Sea for weeks on end with little sleep makes coffee not just a comfort, but part of your survival gear. So when the Hillstrand Brothers, owners of the famous Time Bandit crab boat featured on Discovery Channel's hit show "Deadliest Catch", got one taste of Java Dawg's Craft Roasted Coffees, they knew they knew it was time to update their survival gear.

Working with Chris Keesecker, Java Dawg Coffee owner and master roaster, a blend of some of the best arabica beans from all over the planet was created that was to Johnathan and Andy's high standards for perfection. The brew was christenend, "Captain's Blend" and the label features the Time Bandit's distinctive skull and cross bones logo.

Early one rainy, morning in August, a strange site rolled into the spot at the Sarasota Farmer's Market where the Java Dawg Coffee Cart usually sits. Mouths fell open, cell phones were ripped from pockets, and cameras started appearing everwhere. The Java Dawg Double Decker Coffee Shop Bus was officially unveiled.

As more people started showing up at the market for their Saturday Morning coffee and other market purchases, more people lingered around the restored and remolded 1978 English Double Decker Bus. As people stepped into the bus to prepare their coffee or climbe the circular staircase for a bird's eye view of the market, it was clear that Sarasota had a new tourist attraction and that coffee shop history had been made.
