Description: After Mike and Medora Safai began firing their roaster at the Java Brewing Company in the Crescent Hill neighborhood in 1999, their handcrafted micro-roast coffee became an instant success. Actively integrating the latest technologies of roasting and brewing techniques for gourmet specialty coffees, JBC offers a wide choice of gourmet beans at affordable prices. Employees are well trained to educate customers in the expertise of coffee, and they’ve been rewarded with a loyal—and growing—clientele. Java Brewing Company is involved with coffee-growing communities here and abroad, and they take a leading role in supporting charities and various community-based projects.
