I am not with it for the day until I have had my two large mugs of coffee.

I have tried just about everyone that is sold in the stores and although some are good they don’t quite live up to Starbucks.

I live in a small city in the US and the only Starbucks we have at the moment is in the Barnes and Nobel store and that is a place just to sit and have a cup of coffee, not to buy it by the bag and take home.

They are building a new store and I will be thrilled to be able to get it without travelling a long way. As of right now I love it so much I will travel an hour to buy it.

When it is brewing the aroma is wonderful. That alone will wake up your senses. It is a good robust coffee with a great flavor. I like my coffee strong and this certainly is but has no bitter taste.

It comes in quite a variety of flavors here also. As I write this I am having Java Mocha, great coffee taste with just a hint of chocolate.

They also carry a decaf for those that don’t want all the caffine.

They have bottled frapps and we have one store that carries them. It is the same thing only iced cold and comes in only 3 flavors here, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, again I prefer the chocolate and it is very thirst quenching on a hot day.

It goes down real smooth. These are little bottles so it is easy to drink a couple right down. They also are expensive at $1.59 for 6 ounces.

The bagged coffee you can get the beans and grind it yourself one pot at a time for an even fresher taste which I do on occasion, mainly I have it ground for me. This runs $7.95 and up for a pound bag.

Everyone has something they splurge on and this is one of mine. It is the best coffee I have ever had. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.
