I’ve been drinking good coffee for some time now. My buddies Brian, Craig and Josiah have really opened up my eyes to quality coffee. However, while my mother-in-law is here she requested Folgers’ coffee because it is cheaper and less intense on her stomach than the stuff I was buying (Peaberry’s FlatIron blend). I just brewed a pot of Folgers… blah. The flavor is just sad. I can’t recommend this in even the slightest. While I don’t like Starbucks’ burnt beans I just can’t stand this stuff. You buy a tub o’ grounds and lament it if you can handle it. But such is life… its time for me to get back to work.
I agree. I have been hooked on Peaberry’s Flatiron Blend (whole bean) for some time. I’m a Fireman and at the station we buy Folgers … it is just crap.
I hate Starbucks… and, unfortunately, I’ve heard that Peaberry’s has sold out to Starbucks. and, except for “On-Line” orders.. there will be no place here in town to buy my blend anymore. bummer.
I think I’m turning to roasting my own green coffee beans and, would love to know “exactly” what the Flatiron Blend is.. so, I could try to duplicate it.
