I can't believe their "reserve" line of coffees is actually doing well. They aren't any better since they are still over roasted and oooold.
Here in Portland, a 12 oz siphon is $9 at Barista last I checked. That I might pay for if I was feeling rich. $7 for a Starbucks? I wouldn't even take a cup of sbux if it were given to me for free.

I guess you can feel like your hip by paying $7 for over roasted Geisha at *$ or in your K-cup.

I think I'll pass.

There are many who would pay a lot of money to see a Geisha do that.
If your tiny coffee is so great, then why don't you drink more of it?

"It is immoral to let a sucker keep his money."

I've seen people, over and over, pay fantastic prices for "great" wine that is nothing more than overspoofulated grape juice. This is no different. The tiny fraction of coffee geeks know whats up here - the remainder of the sleeping masses who will fork over the scratch for this stuff will think they know. Therefore, it will be well worth the price to them.

Just sit back, smile and let them think you're crazy for drinking barely roasted geisha straight from your garage.
