    If it claims to be rare enough, there are people to pay $20 a cup for coffee! or sky is the limit to make them feel special!

    Not my cup of coffee! I like tea!

    If this stuff is so special, why the hell are they putting it in K-cups?

    I think a law should be passed that before you can spend $7 on a cup of coffee, you should have to give $7 to a homeless person.

    No one remembers the FIRST 7 dollar cup of coffee in Philly?
    That would have been Rays Cafe in Chinatown 20 years ago.
    Imagine that!
    Mind you it was Blue Mountain brewed in the Hario system
    and served in Limoges.

    What so the homeless person can go buy wine or crack? Rough I know; true, we all know.

    But does it taste good......the true test is to drink it black with no sugar, creme or flaovered stujff.....Just try starbucks "followeres" of the trendy types.....It is so dam strong and bad tasting by itslef it should be called watered down motor oil.....but remember the purpose of this drek is not to e coffee....it is a flavored hot drink....and so you can still taste a hint of coffee after you add sugar, air, chocolate, marshmellow, carmel or whatever else they can con you into buying....but for sheep, it works......but real coffee drinkers take black or a hint of sugar and or creme.....and Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, and Einstein Bagle make good coffe for those that want to drink a real cup and not a hot flavored soda fountain top drink

    FWIW, the roast, and the freshness of the roast, is vastly more important than where the beans come from. This "geisha" stuff is pure marketing. I guarantee you that coffee roasted in the last week by someone who knows what they are doing at any one of a dozen local roasting operations is going to be a lot better than "Geisha" coffee that was roasted 6 months ago and packaged in plastic.
