Product Review #1: The Dark Roast is Yum

I absolutely cannot make it through the morning, at least not with the appearance of being any sort of human life form, without a cup of coffee. I'm pretty picky about the selection of my caffeinated beverage-- only certain brands are acceptable, and I like to grind the beans myself. I usually like to drink Dunkin' Donuts tasty blend, but here in MS the Double-D's are pretty difficult to come by (the stuff they sell in the grocery store is produced by Proctor & Gamble, so it's not "real," unfortunately). 

About two weeks ago, I ran out of my DD beans, so I switched back to the old standard, Community Coffee Medium Roast beans. They are a close second to the DD's, and waaaaaay more palatable than Folger's or anything else you can buy for a reasonable price at Kroger. Yesterday, I finished off my Community beans, and headed out to Kroger to buy some more. Much to my chagrin, Kroger had put the beans on sale, and the only bag left was Dark roast. Dark roast?! Noooo!! How am I supposed to drink dark roast in the a-m? Price speaks louder than any other variable, though, and when I compared the $4.99 beans to a lovely $10.79 bag of Starbucks, the Community beans won out. Well, I am sitting here now enjoying the most delicious cup of coffee I have had lately. The dark roast is not so bad!

On a side note, a DD's just opened about 30 minutes from my house, so I will be going there tomorrow to stock up. Nothing will ever beat out the DD's!
