Which also explains why I ceased subscribing to Gevalia. I can't drink that
much coffee in 3 months... or even 6 months! It was really great coffee and
nice selections but even taking it to the office and brewing it for everyone
(and they did appreciate it given the normal office coffee), it's just too
much coffee! LOL So I cancelled. And I still have a number of vacuum
sealed packages of fine ground coffees. I no longer drink coffee unless I'm
out for breakfast or dinner. So sue me
