Celebrate National Coffee Day at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s “Trade Up Your Cup” Event

You may not be aware, but this Saturday, September 29 is a truly amazing holiday. One celebrating your favorite thing about the morning. It's "National Coffee Day"!
The Coffee Bean & Teal Leaf on The Sunset Strip is celebrating with a new "Trade Up Your Cup Event," which will allow you to exchange any new or used coffeemaker for a brand new CBTL Kaldi Machine (valued at $179.95, while supplies last).
Eligible coffee machines collected will be recycled by Athens Services to be properly recycled or redistributed to non-profits and schools throughout Los Angeles by LAShares.org, a non-profit material reuse program — so while you enjoy your new coffeemaker, you can also enjoy some satisfaction knowing that your gently used older coffeemaker is getting a new life as well.
