starbucks awful. seattle shit. PBS had a tast doc. salt cuts bitter.
then valetine coffee roasters was born. i liked 8' o clock columbian, but valentine's costa rica is the best.

i am a picky girl. no eggs, no cheese, no beer. i prefer iceburg. hmm. BLTs soon. super taster. can't do extra spicy hot. but i want flavor.

oh. torke coffee is great too. a former fon du lac place you got free coffee w/ a meal + too strong til i added enough cream(too many little creamer- here's a carton).

OH! i tried a victorian coffee grinder i had from an estate sale. turned my 8:00 into valentines.

my cousin thought miami's cafe de leche so good. ha! i make it all the time.
