    Good coffee

    I enjoy this coffee. It's a mild flavor with no aftertaste. Was recommended by my doc for bladder issues. I'll keep using it gladly!

    Perfect for GERD

    Perfect for acid reflux sufferers such as myself and my husband. We can now drink coffee and not have a GERD attack after!
