Yeah, it's pretty funny. My daughter, like Steve, lives in Berserkeley
(not the correct spelling). She likes it so well that she moved back
there. She lived there for a couple of years, and she and her roommate
always bought Strauss milk. Not being homogenized was a big selling
point, along with the reusable (not recyclable, reusable) glass bottles.
She mostly used it for making lattes. She moved back home for a year,
but moved back there a few months ago. I haven't asked her if she is
using Strauss again, but I wouldn't be surprised. They also (like
Steve, I think) bought Blue Bottle coffee. It's only sold in the half
pound, and the company will sell no coffee that was roasted before
yesterday. I don't believe they will sell preground coffee, either.
