PROBLEM: I usually enjoy a cup of coffee a few days a week, more as an indulgence than as a necessity. It's a sipping beverage for me, and flavor matters a lot. That said, I add milk and sugar, so I'm not excessively picky (or I think so, at least). So I'm always glad to find new "gourmet" blends to add to my list of favorites. This blend seemed promising, with a very nice aroma and a perfect, even grind. I usually grind my own beans, but found that this grind worked nicely in my espresso machine as-is. It even produced a rich, smooth crema. Unfortunately, my first sip - without sugar or milk - was very bitter. I ended up adding about a half-teaspoon more sugar than I usually use just to compensate. Even then, the coffee flavor, itself, was thin and weak. With just a little milk added, it tasted more like, well, flavored milk. This coffee reminded me of the inoffensive bland coffee my parents used to get for our drip coffee maker a couple of decades ago. Fine for that application, but not really what I'm looking for in rich, smooth flavor with low bitterness.

PROBLEM: My son and daughter-in-law told me about these chips and they purchased a few bags at a store and I will say they are higher in stores then you can get them online on Amazon. They brought me a bag and I was hooked! So I ordered popchips online and they are the "BEST" chips!! There wasn't a flavor I didn't like or that my family didn't like. I am a (chipaholic) and these are better for you and a great tasting chip. I highly recommend these to anyone that can't do without eating chips either with a sandwich, hamburger, or just to munch on midday. You won't be dissapointed.

PROBLEM: Water tastes good. I typically prefer only purified water (did a study on this in grad school back in the day) but for use at the office, this fills the bill. I think it tastes good and looks presentable. Bottles are (of course) recyclable, so I don't feel guilty saying I like the quality of the bottle as well. I once had someone pickup water, and they got a chain grocer brand at a steal - but the bottle was so flimsy. I don't like that one bit. This is the best of both worlds. Shipment arrived fully intact for me.
