I love French roast which is a dark roast. Medium roast is what I normally get though since I rarely buy coffee, and that's what we have and make at work lol. Why spend money on something you can get for free?

Dark roasts technically lose caffeine through the roasting process, however lose more water so the beans shrink a bit and you are using more beans in the same scoop, netting more caffeine. Taking coffee too serious up in here. (But yes it's generally not a big difference)

Went on a roadtrip with the boy toy today. Drove an hour and a half and finally found a starbucks. I got 2 venti iced coffees and a cup. If I could choose how I died I would want to drown in Starbucks. Just obsessed. But I forgot my coupons to buy more bags /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> bummer.

My job is cheap too...like super cheap. In January they said they weren't going to be buying anything other than essential supplies for the classrooms (I work at a daycare), and they said it would only be for January and maybe February. Well, it's almost April and we still can't get anything other than things like Clorox wipes, glue, pens and other super basic things. But, we do always have coffee. At least 2 pots are made everyday, and often it's 3. And there's milk and sugar there too, so if that's how you take your coffee, that's free to you as well.
I'm extremely lucky with my job as well though because it keeps me eating healthy, and it has decreased my grocery bill by a lot! We have a cook who makes breakfast and lunch daily, and we as staff are encouraged to eat what is made with the kids, and most of the stuff is absolutely amazing! It's all vegetarian and has lots of different foods and combinations. The only things I don't eat are the things that contain gluten since I'm gluten intolerant, and the quinoa salad because I can't stand the texture of quinoa. Usually I can eat almost everything. I can't do pancakes or quesadillas or barley, but he makes soup to go with most bready things and I can always eat that!

Especially when your job has an operating budget of over a billion dollars. I heard before I got there you had to bring your own pens and paper to work. Plus they haven't updated the chairs since 1999 and they gave me a minor spine condition so I bought and assembled my own chair from Walmart and rolled it in there, but enough about this place, lol. Anyone get a new campaign besides Starbucks?

That sounds like an amazing cafe for those kids! Get them eating right young! My job has cafe for employees, but the only thing they serve in there are the leftovers from banquets we host throughout the week which is irritating because those banquets paid for the food, and then they go and charge the employees to eat the leftovers. When they aren't serving week old food, they make hot dogs or chicken fingers. So after about a year of that nonsense, I just bring my own lunch. Those quinoa salads sound heavenly compared to our cafe, ha!

I'm obsessed with any kind of coffee so maybe that's why I didn't really think the Blonde roast tasted bad...I sometimes prefer a lighter cup of coffee though, since I typically drink dark roasts all week long. I definitely think it's drink-able, and not nasty though.

I worked at a local, small-town coffee shop for most of my teenage years and we were all super-duper coffee snobs (and still are, sometimes!) and honestly I didn't think it was that bad of a roast. I hate Starbucks coffee when I order it at an actual Starbucks (they ALWAYS burn it) but the kcup wasn't that terrible. Just kind of a basic cuppa, but not that bad.

I'm somewhat of a coffee snob myself. I agree about starbucks. If I go there with friends, I have to get something that's super sugary so it kinda covers up the burnt flavor! I thought it was just me! Haha. But I've gotten the bags of coffee and the k cups and they're not bad. The bags seem better than the k cups though, IMO. I used a refillable k cup with the bag coffee.
This is the auto-reply to the hateful email I sent them. It would have been nice to know I didn't have to buzz... like maybe a month ago!

You have to spend at least $20 to get to use the coupon too. I was so excited to finally get a Kroger campaign. They send out tons of "free stuff" coupons. I would have been so much happier with a free roll of paper towels.

So for my first campaign, it's a Welcome Aboard campaign. They're sending me a magnetic clip for my coupons and a booklet. Is this a new thing or is it pretty standard? It's saying the campaign is 34 days. Does that mean I won't get any other campaign invites in the meantime?
