Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Holy Hell! As soon as I open the box my mouth began to salivate from the aroma of the beans. However, smell good beans =/= taste good beans. It was already 7:00pm on a work night when I opened the box, but it smelled so good I couldn't help myself. I went straight for the grinder. Ugh, the aroma when I opened the grinder was almost too much. I honestly considered just eating the grind raw. But I held back and loaded my french press with hot water. Unfortunately, my french press doesn't have a great seal. The whole house smelled like the world's most exotic coffee shop within seconds. Waiting for the brew to steep was longest dratted wait of my life. But once I started to pour my cup....OH LAWD! Get in my mouth now! Yet the punishment continued as I was forced to choose between sipping and enjoying the coffee, or going with my gut instinct of chugging it like a frat boy drinks a beer. In the end, it was worth the wait. Quite possibly the best cup of coffee I've ever had even when considering I was up until 2am from that danged cup of coffee. All is fine in the world though, as it was just another excuse to make another brew first thing in the morning. After downing a cup and heading to work only to suffer through another mundane day of office work, I couldn't wait until lunch to brew another cup. Finally lunch hour arrived, and I grabbed my coffee bag out of my Pyrex container to start the highlight of my day. I wasn't even done filling the grinder with beans before I had two people come into my office to ask where that amazing smell was coming from. Well, that was odd, and a first, as I have never had that happen with my normal brand. Weird as it was, I fished preparing my cup-o-joe because, let's be honest here; it's really the only thing I have to look forward to at work. Between steeping and finishing my cup of coffee, I'm almost positive everyone in the building stopped by my office to see what the heck smelled so good. Needless to say, I think I just screwed everyone in the building into paying $15 for a pound of coffee they've never tried before. Oh well, still cheaper than Starbucks...and a gazillion times better. Be warned, once you make the plunge there is no going back... P.S. This really is quite stomach friendly. I've had norovirus like symptoms (gross, I know, but tis true) from every other coffee I've tried. Not one bit of acid has decided to creep back up my throat from this coffee. Rejoice.
