I can remember 3. The first was quite different that all of yours. When I was younger than 10, pre 1964, the LA Times showed up with a small bottle of Tasters Choice wrapped up in it, the very first freeze dried instant coffee. That coffee was so much better than anything I'd ever tasted I still remember it. Weird, isn't it. I've always wondered if they did something special to that first batch to get people to switch?

Then some Mexican coffee I roasted in my popper back in 82 or so, went back and bought all the rest of those greens I could afford.

And lastly IMV with it's unbelievable blueberry the few time I got it right.
