If memory serves correctly, the last time we saw comedian Jim Breuer embedded in a national ad campaign, it was for Pizza Hut.

The campaign kicked off this morning with a video that finds Breuer and Takeru Kobayashi (aka Kobayashi; aka international competitive eating champ) at the coffee brand’s headquarters sampling a few roasts in the cupping room. What’s a cupping room? We’ll let the video speak for itself.
