I have been a serious coffee drinker most of my life. My in-laws are Dutch, pure, and made extremely strong coffee, joking that the spoon will disolve if left to sit in it. I started drinking this coffee with lots of sugar and milk, but gave it up. This was Folgers in the 1960's. I switched to Yuban in the 1980's but now I purchase Wal-mart's brand of Aribica Columbian. I only like columbian. I am doing a coffee study for my economics class. This is the reason I am on this site. I love coffee - only columbian.
