Just ask the hubby.
Just don't ask him until HE'S had his coffee.
heh
We both like our coffee S.T.R.O.N.G.
Were we diverge is how we take it - I like mine black. My mother said if I was going to drink it I was going to drink it black or not at all. I suspect she was trying to deter me.
It didn't work.
Now the hubby, he has this complicated process to his coffee. I think it takes him half an hour to make "the perfect" cup of mocha/espresso whatever. Meh, I couldn't be bothered. Just give me my caffeine.
Aaaaaah, that is better.
Now this post will make much more sense.
I am drinking some of the newly available in Safeway stores Gevalia Kaffe French Roast. Isn't that cool? You can now get delicious Gevalia Coffee in your neighborhood grocery store!
Mmmm, coffee.
My Blog Spark sent me a lovely gift pack with a bag of the Gevalia French Roast and the Gevalia House Blend. Since I like strong coffee I went for the French Roast. It was bold and to me, at least, a teensy bit sweet. I liked it but it was not as strong as my hubby's blend. The mug is porcelain and holds a LOT of delicious coffee.
Gevalia is a Swedish company that has been in business for a long time. Here is some info about them and some their coffees:
- Gevalia has been refining the art of luxurious coffee since 1853 and has a deep history of finding and blending the finest Arabica coffee beans from locations around the world.
- Gevalia is expertly made with carefully selected beans, ground extra fine, to produce a rich coffee experience.
- Previously available online only, Gevalia is now offering its top-ten varieties in U.S. coffee supermarket aisles nationwide in 10 varieties, including roast and ground, whole bean, flavored and decaffeinated varieties:
- Gevalia Traditional Roast (ground and whole bean):
Gevalia Traditional Roast provides a perfectly balanced taste every time. Our most beloved blend – made of choice, mountain-grown Arabica beans – this coffee has a distinctive body and flavor with a lighter intensity. (Medium Roast).
- Gevalia House Blend:
A Gevalia favorite, House Blend is a robust yet never bitter coffee. This roast has a captivating aroma that is only matched by its exceptional flavor. (Medium/Dark Roast).
- Gevalia House Blend Decaf :
Delivering the same rich, never bitter flavor, House Blend Decaf has the same robust taste without all the caffeine. (Medium/Dark Roast).
- Gevalia French Roast (ground and whole bean):
Gevalia French Roast is a coffee of impressive richness and dimension, expertly crafted from prized Arabica beans grown in Colombia and Brazil. Hints of aromatic smoke give this dark-roasted French Roast blend an intense, yet uniquely satisfying flavor. (Dark Roast).
There are others and you can learn about them at the Gevalia site. I have the link below. The espresso roast is the one I would like to try next. It's even stronger! I like coffee that can take the paint off of a car. How about you? Do you like your coffee flavored, black, weak, strong? I admit to a cast iron stomach; probably from all the years of the hubby's coffee. Hahahahaha!
Well, thanks to Kraft Foods and the very lovely folks at My Blog Spark one lucky reader will get to experience a morning with the delicious aroma of Gevalia Kaffe brewing in their coffee maker. He/she will win a prize pack just like I received to review. It will include:
One bag of Gevalia Kaffe French Roast, one bag of Gevalia Kaffe House Blend and a lovely mug in which to enjoy your fresh, hot coffee!

I blame my husband.

Since I like very strong coffee like you two do, I'd want to try the Espresso Roast. But I also love me a flavored coffee, and I think the Pumpkin Spice would be good.
