You're telling me this? Hey I have never bought one of those 5 dollar
Charbucks mostly milk drinks. And yeah, people will plop down a fiver for a
cup of their mud and balk at a whole pound of some of the best coffee you

People are just strange. Oh and Peet's coffee is worthy of more mention
that you gave it. It's really quite good coffee IMO.
