    Good quality, good taste, good price

    Great taste and quality. Good value compared to most other products. Easy to use and adjust concentration. No after burn in taste or in the gut. Smell and appearance are appealing.

    Great buy/ delicious flavor

    Quality is very high equalled by its strength. You use less to each cup (to personal taste) thereby using less. Don't follow directions on jar, too strong.

    Well, I've retired my percolater....

    I decided to give this coffee a try based on all the other reviews, and am glad that I did! Great flavor, and I can make it as strong as I want to. I have an electric tea kettle that heats water in just a few minutes. 2 tsps in about 12 ounce mug makes a great cup of coffee. Good rich flavor strong as I like it.
