I was never a fan of the extra bold coffees, until I tried this one. It just blew me away! I do brew it in the larger cup size, simply because that is my preference. But its perfect that way and a totally satisfying cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Can't wait to get some more as I ran out a few days ago and am now going through withdrawal. Highly recommend this coffee to anyone who enjoys a full bodied, balanced, and non bitter cup of coffee.
