So funny.... I have a temp job and it's resetting the coffee sections after they take out the grinders. they are being replaced by a bigger K-cup section.

I had no idea you people drank such weird stuff. Especially the Starbucks flavors. Coconut and Blueberry Muffin, ffs?



So your FIL wants one bag of the house/original/traditional blend of each brand he hasn't already tried. he doesn't want anything fancy It's just that it seems to frivolous to buy them for himself and has no other ideas of what he wants for christmas, so he's killing two birds with one stone. Go to the supermarket and buy just that. One bag of each type he hasn't tried. maybe throw in a few basic Colombian too. include the own brand of whatever store is local to him if you can. The main brands are Gevalia, 8 o'clock, Peets and Starbucks, so there's not going to be much left for you to buy.


If you really want to make the gift interesting, Baggie up and code a couple of servings of each one so he can do a blind taste test. he can rate each one and then you can reveal which were which.
