STATION CASINOS
Station Casinos, the owners of the Palms, Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Resort and Casino tapped Chef J. Gursey to elevate their coffee and tea programs for their 24 hour cafes and fine dining venues. Chef Gursey worked closely with Station’s food and beverage teams to develop a coffee program unparalleled. He started by creating a “Private Reserve” for their Scotch 80 Prime Steakhouse located at the Palms to compliment their epicurean menu. The blend comprised of choice African and South American coffees is presented tableside on fire via a coffee siphon to provide an interactive guest experience.

KORN
Korn Koffee. Created in partnership with J. Gursey Coffee Roasters, Korn Koffee is the culmination of the band's years of touring and a way for them to connect on a personal level with their fans. Chef J Gursey worked closely with the band to develop a blend that offered a glimpse into their daily routine of drinking coffee. The process saw the band members tasting multiple variations before ultimately selecting the perfect roast and blend.
Made entirely with Certified Fair Trade whole beans, Korn Koffee is a distinctive blend of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Guatemalan Huehuetenago, and Organic Peru beans mixed with J. Gursey Coffee's popular Diamond Reserve blend.
Chef J Gursey followed up the success of the previous blend, with the award winning “Wired Blend”, dubbed one of the best tasting highly caffeinated coffee blends on the market today. Its proprietary blend capitalizes on using a secretly sourced Indian coffee with a high caffeine content in order to offer coffee connoisseurs a smooth tasting blend with an extra kick.
