    Fire Department Originall

    Excellent tasting medium roast coffee, especially when I brew it with natural spring water such as Arrowhead or Crystal Geyser.

    Good coffee

    Good coffee, has a nice flavor. We get beans because freshly ground coffee has a richer taste then if was already ground beans. This one is actually my husbands favorite. I prefer their vanilla bean bourbon.
