5. DECAF?!? Might as well drink brownish dirty hot water.
bleh.

And, yeah, it's not the best coffee I've ever had, but neither am I a coffee snob. I'll pretty much drink any kind and like it as long as it's strong.

7. Bleech....got to be Starbuck Arabian Mocha Java...and their Christmas...
Blend was great this year. Yes, its expensive, but once you are used to the dark roast, all other coffee tastes like dirty dishwater.

22. Yes, I have - agreed! I think that those who don't "get" Starbucks
just don't like the taste of coffee very much - or they have wimpy palates!!! Life is too short to drink shitty coffee....

20. If you must buy mail order coffee at least get the good stuff
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 11:29 PM by The empressof all
By far one of the best coffees you can get in the mail. It's Heads and Tails better than Starbucks, Gevallia or others of that ilk.

24. must have lots of additives
I'm one of these people who stays away from any type of processed food. I grow a lot of my own organic vegetables and always purchase the natural, no-additive versions of any products that offer it.

Consequently, when I do get an additive or two from something, I really notice it. I had some Gevalia awhile back and it caused such a bad reaction. I had splitting headache for three days.

29. Oh, that stuff is horrid!
My grandmother used to give it to each of us at Christmas. We either threw it out, or found someone who wanted it. Awful!

God love her, may she rest in peace!
