While not a taste for every one most of what people drink really is cheap swill. I currently have 2 pounds at home from 4 different places. Kona in Hawaii ( I actually don't care for it), Some where in Guatemala that was home roasted ( not bad, the fruit taste of the berry hasn't been burnt out of it), Sumatra ( One of my favourites) and Jamaica ( decent but not worth the price and over hyped).

Redbull tastes like piss in a can. I can understand people not liking coffee, it is bitter and it does take some getting used to... I cannot understand people liking redbull. yuck.

ever seen redbull in a glass... it looks like piss too.

Personally, I do not drink coffee, energy drinks, or anything else with caffiene

If you have a Wegmans Grocery near you - try the French Roast Arabica they fly under their own brand. I don't know who they repackage from but it is good E36 M3 if you grind your own. Reasonable too. I'm going to go press up a batch right now.

If you have an Aldi close this is very good stuff. Its German and a very fine grind.

I love coffee. I don't drink it every day, but man, I savor the crap out of it when I do. I bought a French press and threw away the little crappy ass measuring spoon that came with it, because I use double the suggested amount of beans and brew it cold.

My four year old daughter will mug me for it, too. I gave her a taste when she was two years old thinking the bitter taste would scare her away, but I somehow forgot that this failed to work on me as a child as well. She loves it, too.

She even has a little song she sings when she gets to have a sip based on the "Coqui" song from Dora.
