RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 17,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dripkit Coffee, a leading
single-serve pour over solution for a variety of roasters and
wholly owned subsidiary of NuZee Inc. (Nasdaq: NUZE), is teaming up
with new Columbus, Ohio hotel, The
Junto, to launch an in-room coffee solution honoring Ohio State's 1926 homecoming queen, Maudine, the
Holstein cow.
In 1727, Benjamin Franklin — you
may have heard of him — founded a "club for mutual improvement,"
which he styled The Junto. Ben's club brought together people from
diverse backgrounds to discuss issues and ideas of the time. The
Junto hotel is a modern-day embodiment of this idea. With an
emphasis on public gathering spaces, the hotel gives visitors,
locals, entrepreneurs, and artists alike a place to come together,
exchange ideas, and inspire one another.
In designing the packets for this collaboration, The Junto and
Dripkit teams drew inspiration from the hotel's breakfast and
coffee shop, Maudine's. In 1926, when Rosalind Morrison won the distinction of
Ohio State University Homecoming Queen
and learned that she had received more votes than there were
students at the school, she passed her crown to the runner-up,
Maudine Ormsby. An esteemed member
of the university's dairy herd, known for her award-winning milk
production, Maudine was officially declared Queen.
The black and white cow print Dripkits featuring a small yellow
crown can be found in all 198 rooms of the hotel for guests that
need a pick-me-up before heading down to Maudine's for breakfast,
visiting the hotel's two restaurants or walkup food window, meeting
in the multiple event spaces, or hitting one of the many amenities
including a gym, patio, working spaces, and "Gear Garage," where
hotel guests can borrow bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, instant
cameras, backpacks, and GoPro video cameras.
Founded in 2017 by Ilana Kruger,
Dripkit offers single serve pour over coffee formats on a large
scale to combine convenience and quality. Dripkits produce a 10oz
cup of coffee using 17g of roasted and ground coffee without the
prep or cleanup of a traditional pour over. The just-add-water
format enables hotel guests and visitors to brew the perfect cup of
coffee in two minutes and enjoy freshly roasted specialty coffee
on-the-go, sans equipment, and without the mess.
The Junto joins an esteemed line of Dripkit hospitality
partners, which include Kayak and Autocamp. Dripkit Coffee is a
business division of the NuZee (NASDAQ: NUZE) brand portfolio.
