Honestly pretty good. Nice taste, B-Corp Certified, ~~vehemently independent~~, and it keeps me awake without feeling panicky.

I usually buy grounds from elsewhere, or just drink energy drinks; but I'm currently at my grandparents' place, and all of their stuff is decaf.

I also remember someone here (or on the other sub) wanting to know about non-American coffee brands, so I thought I'd post it.

"feel free to drink whatever you like" doesn't sound as genuine as i intented it maybe, but honestly idc what you drink or for what reason. You definitely got an upvote from me for posting it too.

They sell these one-cup 'sticks' over here with instant coffee, they're not that bad and i take them abroad as like emergency coffee. I'd get any real coffee before using those, but sometimes the best you can get is even worse lol
