    Agent Dale Cooper would be proud of this coffee

    Best coffee I have ever tasted. Am I a connoisseur? No. I dont like Starbucks, but I love Dunkin Donuts. In fact, I have Dunkin almost daily. Once in a while I will go elsewhere and try a different brand, or try some darker roast or organic bean. So, while I love Dunkin, I sometimes even need a break from them.

    Conquering my asthma with beans.

    Im relatively new to coffee. I have periodic bouts with asthma and apparently the best home remedy is black coffee. Now im not telling you to toss your medication, im just saying that according to my research as well as my own experience black coffee can help open my constricted airways. Be smart about it.

    Smooth, Bold, Aromatic & Fair Trade ALL-IN-ONE

    Good coffee is worth paying for. This is not your grandparents coffee or the horrid brown liquid in the coffee pots at you office. I tried the Death Wish immediately and loved it at first taste. The flavor is very rich, bold and has a smooth finish.

    I don't know how I did it

    Somehow I produced coffee house quality coffee using a cheap black and decker automatic drip and and ground the whole beans with a $20 Krups grinder. I blame this on the quality of the beans and the roast. This coffee is amazing quality.
