I&#8217;ll post a review of this brew ASAP! I&#8217;ll also let you know about Counter Culture&#8216;s roast quality when I review this coffee.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theespressovein.wordpress.com&amp;blog=28780102&amp;post=40&amp;subd=theespressovein&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
