Publik Coffee Roasters leads the pack of companies I've written about, but have never heard from. To be fair, they responded once to tell me they were currently undergoing renovations. That was three years ago. I sent them a message this week. They looked at it. No reply. What more does a guy need to do?
Now, I know what you're saying. "They're trying to send you a message by not responding. Take a hint. Give up." While these sentiments are accurate, I feel like it's not unheard of to expect even the most succinct of responses. Honestly, how long does it take to type "No" or "Stop"? I am not saying I'm deserving of either reply. I would accept it if Publik felt like this is what I deserve though.
On their Facebook page, Publik has a mountain of reviews that toot their horn and praise their dedication to quality. I have no doubt that these reviews are true; however, I never base my content on reviews alone. It seems like a majority of reviews have everything to do with the quality of service, not quality of product. So far I would give them low marks in quality of service, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I have no idea why my luck has been better with coffee companies located anywhere else in the country than it has been with ones in my backyard. Your guess is as good as mine in that area. Don't be surprised if you see another Publik article coming from me in a few months. Say what you will about me. I'm one of the most persistent people out there.
Any time a writer decides to cover a specific topic they need to do so until there's nothing left to say about that topic. I haven't interacted much with Publik so this remains an unfinished chapter. Hopefully they will reach out and put the finishing touches on this tale. I know that once we get in touch with each other we will become the best of friends.
