Love your blog round ups! I must’ve missed that CoffeeNate blog post before on the health advantages of coffee. Suddenly I feel great being addicted to it! Thanks!
I agree, when I read studies that proclaim the healthy benefits of coffee, I go get another cup of coffee.
Love the round up…thanks for finding the “Obey the Bean” shirt. It has such potential among the coffee geeks I know. Good show Mike.

yes Mike… i noticed that taste (and even though i didn’t have the coffee chops to characterize it as… DRY…) it does have character; full flavor.
so i also liked this one. my local store seems to stock it along with maybe 2 or 3 other organic Starbucks coffee varieties. i focus on them.
Most of the stores around me don’t have many organics, but I think I found one that has a few for me to try.
