I'm simply using this review as an avenue to respond to the lady who thinks that she likes coffee more than any "American ever could". If this is a misquote I do not apologize, (how American is that?). I would like to remind her that when you insult one's culture by using generalizations it makes you look insensitive and ignorant. Believe me, I am a bit snobby when it comes to coffee beans and the way it is brewed myself. I'm tired of foreigners thinking that all Americans are this or that based off of what one experiences through the media or whomever is our elected officials. I could easily mention that since you like coffee so strong and flavorful that you probably have smelly breath. Or I could mention that you may not know how to brew coffee the correct way. I personally think that the coffee is okay not terrible. Taste is subjective, it shouldn't be a way to insult or condemn an entire nation. Especially a nation that is so diverse.
