Folger's 1850 Black Gold Coffee Review

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average joe coffee reviews todays coffee would have been drunk by Yosemite Sam so today we are reviewing Folgers 1850 Black Gold so this is a different kind of folgers its supposed to be by their pricing and everything theyre looking to be a more premium brand not like super premium its a $6.49 for the bag $8.65 a pound so thats pretty cheap its not as cheap as their stuff that you would find in a can but it’s pretty cheap but theyre trying to maybe focus more on getting the people who kind of would maybe otherwise say I don’t want to drink folgers this is a nicer kind of bag and you can see on the bag the prominent feature is 1850 then it says the Folger coffee company right it doesnt say Folgers 1850 right and its not red a lot of people have asked us about reviewing this coffee because it is different its like I wonder if that is good and we had seen it and we thought maybe one of these days and since everybody was asking us to do it we thought alright so of course the 1850 has to do with the goldrush in San Francisco even though folgers is now a company out of Ohio on the bag it says SF California 1850 and then the story has to do with James Folger because he started the company out there during the gold rush and perfected his craft during that time so while other people were not getting rich on gold he was getting rich on black gold right yeah hey look I made this great coffee and so we’ll see was it great? yeah so chocolatey and dark is what they say that it should taste like hmm and I like that flavor profile that’s my favorite and I gotta say I love this coffee it’s good coffee I really enjoy it like I djust do it is like a to me it is kind of chocolatey it’s dark it’s roasty but they don’t take it too far it’s not like burnt tasting I just really like it I really enjoy it we wonder like you know 1850 James Folger was making coffee and doing a good job at it if this like who knows was this the quality was this what he was making they were like they found this is some hutch in somebodys basement and they were like this is the original folgers recipe why are we making that other stuff for all these years now to be fair there have been a couple of folgers that we like black silk that was a pretty good one but that was not the original yeah your made up story what’s original this or the red canister that people store their screws and nuts and bolts in thats not well that is that is something people do so what’s the real one we should check wikipedia did you talk about what you taste I tasted the same things you tasted but overall I really really like it it certainly makes me want to try the other roasts and see although dark roasts are probably gonna be my favorite just cause that’s what I like but really good we do have another one of these 1850s called Trailblazer I didn’t even know I’m excited now so but we haven’t tried it yet so we don’t know what that one is like but this one is kind of middle ground on the price what would you say for donuts on there four yeah thats up there with like a gevalia type and I like it that much I think it is a very enjoyable like there was another coffee we were drinking we’re always drinking several different bags and there was one that I wasn’t really enjoying and everything but then you fixed me a cup of this and I was like ahh and he didn’t tell me which one it was and I was like I really like this one remind me and it was this 1850 Dark so there you go so folgers has and this is fairly new come out with these 1850 roasts and its not just one we know of this black gold and there is the trailblazer do you know of any others that you should tell us about have you tried it yeah what did you think exactly let us know in the comments below wed love to talk to you about it and then see like which other ones we might go out and try to get and find as we travel around the country well thanks for joining us on this review of coffee coffee coffee and until next time keep grindin'

St Thomas Roasters Linglestown Blend Coffee Review and SendMeSomeJoe.com Review

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average joe coffee reviews. today’s coffee came with some chocolate so today we are reviewing Linglestown blend from st thomas roasters but also we’re reviewing in a way send me some joe dot com subscription service we should explain kind of what the deal is. so st thomas roasters has been in business since 2000 in the year 2000 copyright Conan O Brien people probably don’t even know who that is anymore no no Conan is super popular we knew conan from like way back from Comedy Central We were like on top of it we knew him when he was on network television before he made it big hey these youngsters that watch, they don’t know he was on NBC obviously somebody knew him on Conan, but didn’t Conan start He was a Saturday Night Live writer I don’t know what he did before that Well anyway the point is send me some joe We have a lame claim to fame Send me some joe dot com is a subscription service and they only use st thomas roasters so it’s to separate compaies that we’re talking about so we’re gonna talk about the coffee company and we’re gonna talk about the service a little bit now the subscription service is different than other subscription services that you may have heard about or used they charge you for the subscription of coffee and you receive that coffee however often like bi-weekly or monthly however you decide you can get ground or whole bean and theres a whole bunch of different blends and roasts from st thomas roasters but 3 dollars of the cost for your subscription goes to a local charity in the Harrisburg Pennsylvania area and recently the charity that they did was Caitlins Smiles and what was that That was, they take craft boxes and give them to children who are terminally ill or who have life threatening diseases so that’s a really neat charity so when you use this subscription service it’s neat because you’re giving to charity yeah so that’s pretty cool that they do something like that So the coffee we can get into now like we said this is the Linglestown Blend Linglestown is the town where St thomas roasters is located and on their website and on facebook you can they’ve got this gigantic roaster that probably sits out in the front of the store so that everybody can see the roasting because it all takes place right there in that location where they roast beans every day it’s pretty neat but did you just drink some of the coffee oh Ive been drinking before we said we were gonna drink it its good yeah its really good so this one has the different beans we didn’t talk about that yes I wrote it down yeah i know so it’s got Colombian robusto right no supremo colombia supremo costa rican tarrazu and guatemala antigua antigua so that’s quite a lot of different beans but its supposed to be their most popular roast from st thomas right I think so or at least the guy who owns send me some joe dot com, Jason he said that he and his wife have been drinking this blend for years and they just love it it could be the most popular one at the place as well while we’re drinking the coffee and before we tell you our thoughts, go ahead the smell of this coffee is just amazing its just so different stuff from your local roaster is so much better than any grocery store coffee bar none it’s just better and this was roasted and sent to us within 2 days it was roasted and then we had it two days later and that’s what they do for your subscription services and everything its really quickly sent out and all that they try to keep it fresh and at the time of this recording and think its probably an ongoing promotion for the subscription if you use the code GIVEME5 you can get 5 dollars off your first subscription which currently if you do a bi weekly subscription its $20 and that gets you a pound of coffee including the which is pretty awesome so theres some behind the scenes stuff that has to happen along with that too so the coffee ah but the coffee because that’s the most important part deliciouso yeah it was such a different thing because i think like before the coffee we were drinking was great value oh great value yes so we were trying to finish up that bag and then we got sent some of this stuff and then it was just like you know we try to just each coffee of itself like we try not to think how does Great Value compare to a microroaster we try to just say is great value good in and of itself and it is especially for the price its good but this right here is some good stuff its like high quality good coffee right and we didn’t mention I don’t think but it was sent to us to review but what we tell people when we are sent a coffee to review is that if we don’t like it we won’t review it because we don’t want, typically it’s a small company that has done that in the past and we dont want to you know not that millions of people watch these but we don’t want bad word to go out from us to a small company right we can do that if its something like publix or something a big giant corporation its like you know I dont feel so bad were not gonna dent their reputation but small businesses we just say we just wont review it if we try it and we don’t like it thats how we try to keep it what’s that word unbiased unbiased yeah unbiased reviews unbiased we’re trying to keep because we don’t wanna just say hey if youll send us free coffee we’ll give you a positive review we dont do that and theres actually been some coffees that weve been sent and we have not reviewed including some very expensive coffee that we just didn’t like we just really didn’t wanna cause you know they are small businesses so but this coffee is delicious mm yeah oh we didn’t talk about the taste i dont think like the flavors so I get a lot of its like a nice roasty chocolatey I think you said nutty right yeah nutty I think its just really good just really good coffee it was one of those things the weather hasn’t been cooperating for the reviews so we kept saying we gotta get out there and review it cause the bag was getting close to empty and the weather is not necessarily cooperating now its about 1000 degrees if we were shooting this from behind us youd be abble to see through my shirt maybe so were in the shade and the sun is behind us and you can tell so if it’s a little bright behind us that’s why but we do what we can do out here in the florida sun um but yeah so donut rating for the coffee what would you say I dont know id go what would you say i think a four is fair four yeah oh yeah Id be almost a four and a half but well we take price into consideration so id say a four yeah thats true because this is Average Joe Coffee Reviews we know that most of the people who are watching this are wanting to find coffee thats good but doesnt cost a whole lot of money so we take that into consideration and this is what I would call for us a treat coffee not an every week purchase for us but some people do want to do that and then it works out well for them id say this one is a winner yeah and I really like the idea of a subscription service too then you can really you get all their coffee you know you can try a lot of different blends and all that I think it’s great so check em out and we’ll put a link GIVEME5 we’ll put that in the description below and of course on the screen so you can see it there but wherever you’re at youll be able to see that and maybe click on a link depending on where you’re watching this. well if you have ever had any st thomas roasters they look like they are highly rated on Google and Facebook so if you’ve been up in that area or if youve ordered it some other way before let us know what you thought about that coffee in the comments below and until next time keep grindin

Starbucks Caffe Verona Coffee Review

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today’s coffee is neither a Capulet or Montague so today we are reviewing Starbucks caffe Verona I think it’s caf-f-fe yeah it does have 2 Fs yes Verona and it’s a dark roast it’s supposed to be roasty sweet and dark cocoa right yeah so Starbucks for us is kind of hit or miss yeah really morning Joe is the only one that we were like good stuff yeah we like this coffee but yeah overall it’s just you know not not my favorite I mean and a lot of people have said that in the comment section like yeah Starbucks was kind of like bitter or just not that good which is interesting because I do like an occasional Starbucks like to go pick one up yeah but we get them differently if you go to Starbucks it you know you’re not getting a black coffee or whatever that is true I’ll take a breve latte please it is - yes espresso and so it is different but anyway you do get rewards which we never redeem which we should but 50 cents off a bag of coffee that you don’t really enjoy so you know so anyway how much did we pay for this 6 49 at Walmart right physical Walmart not Walmart.com I think you can get it at Walmart.com for $6.99 same size bags so certainly cheaper than what we pay normally at Publix I really didn’t realize how much we were paying for coffee at Publix until we started going at Walmart when we started RVing it’s like we’re constantly at Walmart so then you grab coffee while you’re there yeah and it’s much cheaper that way so let’s give it a swiggety swiggety so Verona is Italian and we’re also at Venice Beach in Florida not in Italy unfortunately but still Venice Beach Florida is beautiful beautiful it’s ten minutes to 7:00 in the morning that’s why it’s so deserted calm yeah and beautiful okay so so this coffee to me at like the first time we drank it was bitter like like ridiculously bitter tasting for whatever reason but what I have noticed with other Starbucks too- is it seems like the first thing we drink of it is like powerful tasting but then if you let it mellow for a few days it kind of loses some of that bitterness right or whatever it kind of has to air out maybe I don’t know but it seems to make it taste a bit better that’s what I think certainly drinking this now compared to was it two or three days ago a drink our first bit of it yeah then I was like I don’t want to drink this I really didn’t even want to drink the whole cup I mean it was that kind of like oh yeah this is not now it’s better so I mean so I would say you know if you’re gonna try this one kind of give it a few days to air out if you don’t like it at first yeah but you could open your bag up and spread all the coffee grounds out on the countertop I’m just kidding don’t do that but just we opened the bag and of course we had two or three cups each out of there prior to the review right now and this is the best that it has tasted yeah I think but still there is a bitterness there that I don’t really enjoy I’m not getting any of the sweet I’m not getting roasty sweet and dark cocoa roasty I mean maybe well maybe roasty but yeah roasted almost too much like because it’s almost like almost like burnt tasting over roasted I don’t know that’s not the term but yeah I don’t know I was I was thinking I kind of tasted some nuttiness but maybe just a tiny little bit I think it’s more cocoa-y I kind of gotta get the cocoa but I don’t really get the the sweetness they’re talking about mm-hmm so overall that’s like okay yeah I would say it’s like a doughnut rating well after you let it go for like when we first drank it I might have been down at like a two and a half yeah but now it may have come up a full doughnut I don’t know maybe maybe yeah I was gonna say three and a half with this one I yeah but yeah yeah yeah yeah because that’s not so bad $10 a bag or whatever you have to pay for your starbucks coffee you know if you’re paying a premium for it then I would say yeah I would say yeah yeah three and a half I would have been a lot lower the first day I would have been a two and a half yeah this might be a coffee that if you have a friend who says that they have to drink Starbucks because it’s you know like on that movie return to me when the lady in the restaurant said I have to have this kind of water and this and this this and then Minnie Driver goes and fills it up with tap water and then she’s like oh this is so amazing if you have to if you have a friend like that who has to have Starbucks coffee this could be one right yeah just open it up a couple of days before hand if you can’t find morning Joe if you can find morning joe then just drink that one good yeah Cafe Verona does sound more sophisticated it really does but anyway if you’ve had this cafe Verona please let us know what you thought about it in the comments below our faces on the screen or on your phone or wherever and any other Starbucks this one was recommended to us unfortunately I can’t remember who it was on YouTube that said to try it but I will find that and pop it up on the screen yes and thank them for that because after all it was a three and a half that’s what we said right so let us know what you thought about it or if you plan on getting it and thanks for joining us here at Venice Beach and until next time keep grindin

D-Town Roasters Nicaragua Roast Coffee Review

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: good signal oh oh but I guess it’s gonna be okay we’ll find out in a little get some Sun there everybody hi so welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today we are coming to you live drinking some coffee that we won’t tell you if it’s fantastic or not we will later in a moment but right now we are in Hannibal Missouri that’s where Mark Twain grew up he built all these boats right behind me No he didn’t but anyway so that’s the Mississippi River right there that I’m touching with my finger it’s pretty massive it’s pretty massive but anyway today we are here to review a coffee and that coffee is d-town Roasters Nicaragua roast yes we’ve been drinking this for a couple of days hey Paul we’ve been drinking this coffee for a couple of days we picked it up from the owner themselves just hey we’d like to buy some coffee she was like fantastic I’d love to help you and so what have we thought about the coffee as our… let’s talk about other stuff first right yeah what do we think it’s 16 dollars a pound this is a micro roaster and that’s pretty much in line I think with most micro Roasters it’s gonna be about a dollar an ounce right I mean it’s pretty much what we found sometimes is even more than that yeah it can get woo really up there so it depends on who you’re buying from but these people are great d-town Roasters small roaster located in Decatur Illinois which is beautiful we were just there and hey Chris and something that I hope I don’t mess up in retelling the story but some of the beans that they get come from a cooperative of women coffee farmers who were doing kind of their own thing and they were able to join together and that way they could produce more and sell you know more quantity because if you all get in together mm-hmm so that’s a pretty neat needs story yeah it’s kind of like mission based because it was a church that was buying it so it was affiliated with the church so this is a way that this particular church now d-town roasters is not a church just to be clear right like this was just they bought the beans some of the beans now I can’t remember if it was this Nicaragua right like I said yeah but yeah so that’s a really neat story and to be able to support a mission through business well especially small farmers you know that that is really cool to me always you know I was a farm girl so it’s neat I think to see those small farmers get together right and make it in the world and so the question though is it any good because we had d-town Roasters before mm-hmm again this is a small roaster they sell it said like the local is that a child on a leash it’s not our child I think I did see him walking past but I don’t know ours are over there right not on leashes running wild yeah so d-town Roasters the one we had before was Guatemala it was really good Nicaragua and I think I actually like this better yeah it’s got a creaminess like I was telling you yesterday that what my coffee is black it’s been black for about a month now I only drink black don’t brag I’m just saying so that people know what am I tasting from the direct coffee and it’s creamy like I don’t know that I’ve experienced that with a lot of other coffees yeah and I will say I was trying to figure out which one was mine which was his cuz our mugs are exactly the same and I drank a sip of his really good I can tell that it was black but it was really good so it’s one that I could drink black but I like my half and half yeah so what else what else you getting out of this coffee I’m gonna press this button again and say okay it is I think certainly roasty kind of cocoa nutty yeah I think that I don’t know that the I get kind of all those things but I just can’t get past that it’s creamy I’m glad you’re really happy about that oh it is a smooth that maybe is the thing it’s very very smooth and I really like it yeah I just saw that child I don’t think they have a leash on them I think they were going fishing no leash just to confirm they were just going for a nice little family walk this is a neat little town we haven’t had much time to explore it but a lot of different types of people so beyond beyond that creaminess kind of nuttiness smooth smooth kind of rich too it’s really nice like it’s just so so nice to have a good coffee now we like review lots of coffees that I really like that are from the grocery store and they’re you know but there’s just something about a local roaster I’ve not found one yet that will compare at all like I just I have not found one where I thought even Pete’s which everybody knows I love Pete’s it just doesn’t compare he said if you’re drinking your coffee with sugar and cream you’re doing it wrong was that SPQR Reborn yeah milk and sugar but what about just cream well I prefer I mean if I’m doing it I’m doing it right right right it’s gonna be heavy whipping cream right but as a general rule it’s half and half yeah so we don’t have that heavy whipping cream money you put that in four cups of coffee a day I don’t think so but I really like I like I like it with cream I used to be the type of person that said one of these days I want to get to the point where I’m drinking black and you know what I like it with half and half mmm-hmm I like it I’m gonna keep it so our reviews are generally about well they’re average joe coffee reviews typically right yeah we review store-bought coffees and things like that so she’s excuse so generally the price sometimes is half well not not half mm-hmm close to half as half as much as what this costs per pound are you trying to make me do math right now I’m trying this as our youngest child is running this way I’m waiting to find out he’s gonna tell us yeah but me sorry hey this is real life just just a moment yes we’re in the middle of doing a live what okay why don’t you go play with your brother and sister I will read this comment let’s see by the way by the way did you find peets at Walmart I found some uh let’s see few bags at Walmart newer remodeled nicer area stores yes we have purchased Pete’s coffee at Walmart before right or did we only produce at Publix I don’t know that’s a good question I don’t think that we have purchased Pete’s at Walmart yeah I think one time we did get it at Target and it was a good price at Target well Targets different than Walmart there’s no website called people of Target there might be I’ll have to look I think one time I thought I want to see what what the price is at Walmart and it wasn’t there has anybody else found Peets at Walmart yeah I don’t know what we’ll have to do is check some of those our neighborhood markets oh wait so somebody did he did buy them Paul did assuming you’re a man that’s what I’m saying we yeah we haven’t yeah yeah okay we’re gonna check some of those a neighborhood markets the Walmart neighborhood markets those are pretty good those are nice I don’t know if anyone’s been into one I was impressed I thought it was really really like where shopping is a pleasure only at Walmart oh that’s right okay let’s see local fresh roasted coffee really is the best coffee yeah I agree yeah yeah pdubIV there we go but uh it is always better it is yeah but a lot of our ratings we have to review based on price when we talk about them - yeah because again average Joe it’s like you know what cuz we have to look at our actual budget - and say you know what are we gonna we drink enough coffee where that’s good chunk of change if you’re gonna be doing it all the time yeah exactly so this coffee although fantastic is not a coffee that we could buy all the time right no right now anyway until you know coffee coffee coffee becomes the biggest show on YouTube and with your help we’ll be there Subscribe! but but it’s delicious mm-hmm yeah and I love like that direct relationship you can have with a local roaster you know like that feels good I feel much better giving my money to a local business and saying I know that this will actually help your family out yeah whereas you know if you buy it at the store then I mean it does still help people because everybody’s a part of the economy and all that but it just it is a nice thing to know exactly where your money’s going yeah like we had talked about with people about the Walmart coffee we don’t know who’s making it Walmart apparently Sarah Lee use to make it years ago and then yeah well Chris also said his local Price Chopper has Pete’s I don’t know what it is that Price Chopper it sounds like a Walmart only not a not a thing maybe that’s what he calls it not saying like oh let’s see we have a Walmart local market but haven’t seen Peets see I wonder if it’s like a regional thing I only certain ones will have yeah I wonder though is that what Chris was saying he’s calling Walmart Price Chopper maybe price price roller backer that’s harder to say though yeah your Publix has never never had Peets at your Publix wow we get Pete’s like I said I think that that was aside from target Peets or well our Publix is where we got Pete’s let’s see Paul says totally with you about smaller coffee companies I’m still trying to use this live I’ve got to press this button again I think Folgers black silk should be rated higher it is a good coffee and you know it was a while ago that we had it I can’t remember how many doughnuts I would imagine we gave it four if I can remember what it tasted like but but I don’t remember offhand but we might revisit that one in one of our taste tests we want to do some blind taste tests where kayla will be the taster probably for those I’ll make the coffees and not let her know what she’s tasting and then go from there but we’d like to do that and maybe I’ll pit black silk up against some higher-end coffees higher priced ones for sure because that’s what you want to you want to know let me see there’s something else oh it’s the grocery store in Syracuse okay maybe when we make it up to New York we will check out Price Chopper I’d never like we have around where I’m from save a lot things like that which sound like are probably the same type of grocery stores as Price Chopper if it’s if that’s what they do Paul says and I answered but you may chime in she’s coming back that he thinks black silk should be rated higher I couldn’t remember what we rated it at I can’t remember what we rated it at I was thinking it must have been at least four cuz it’s so inexpensive yeah and because it wasn’t where was the one with Folgers reviews have released yet so be looking for those we did the black gold and Trailblazer so they’ll be coming out and because you’re watching live you’ll know that they’re on the way yeah those are a more expensive Folgers yeah but the black silk I think that we did like it I do remember I do remember black silk I remember being impressed with it as a Folgers like as far as when I compared there was one folders we did not like it all coffee house blend maybe yeah that one didn’t like it all the other one compared to that Folger’s you know black silk was really good mm-hmm but then what I thought was it seems like I just wanted more flavor with the Black Silk yeah you know like it was it was good especially when you compared it to the other folgers but I still wanted more mm-hmm that’s you know that’s that’s a big reason why we started this channel because we could never remember what the coffee’s tasted like that we tried so we’d go back to the same ones we knew and we’re so glad because at this point we’ve tried over a hundred oh yeah new coffee yeah and we’ve been able to share with you guys what we thought about it and I think we’ve inspired some of you guys to like try the great value coffees and stuff like that yeah let’s see so yeah he said the grocery store is in Syracuse when we go to New York we’ll have to try to find it okay yeah yeah we’re gonna do blind taste test yeah I’m sure yeah yeah if you guys have things that you want us to try any kind of ideas like hey like one thing we’ve been asked to do is like blind taste test you know this one versus that one like different you know maybe Starbucks versus great value you know all the different things like white filters versus brown filters and all different things so if you have something like that let us know and we’ll try to oblige you yeah but keep in mind that we do live in an RV full-time so we don’t have space for like four or five coffee makers yeah that’s the tricky part figuring these out is like hmm how are we gonna how are we gonna do the test and make it kind of kind of scientific obviously it’s not going to be that scientific but trying to keep everything else equal yeah we we have two of these mugs they do a really good job of keeping the coffee hot they’re lined with ceramic so it doesn’t taste like metal yeah so we think we’ll be able to you two coffees at the time at least and then maybe if we’re also doing like comparing with a french press like tournament style round robin yeah I don’t know like that way we can head-to-head everything mm-hmm I’m gonna surprise Kayla and I’m gonna pit Folgers original with some of that cat poop coffee I guess we’re not gonna buy any of that that hundred dollar a pound stuff It’s ridiculous yes Oh what is it it’s some sort of I don’t know what it’s called yeah I don’t either That’s not the kind of reviews we’re ever gonna do yeah yeah so we haven’t given a donut rating on this right I’m pretty sure we gave four to the other one oh 4 and a half yeah it’s hard welcome because it’s $16 a pound it’s hard for us to say it’s the perfect coffee I’ll just eat beans and rice for the rest of the week I know but four and a half yeah I mean to anybody out there who wants to try it and you’re and you’re in the area you may be able to contact d-town roasters to see if they’ll ship and what that costs everything they’re they’re still you know ramping up production that’s at this point they’re small and they’re you know growing they’re in some local coffee houses and stuff like that in Decatur yeah and that you can buy it in a shop in Decatur also tournesol on merchant street all right okay yeah Chris says we have a State Fair on that started today and running until Labor Day ah in New York oh we’re so far away we’re in Missouri now and heading to Hannibal, Missouri I forgot where we’re going Glacier National Park in Montana and then down to Yellowstone and then we don’t know from there where we’re gonna go it’ll be too cold I think in Syracuse by the time we get back around yeah we’re gonna keep going as long as the gas money doesn’t run out in gurnee I don’t even know where gurnee is Is that a cousin Eddie thing, yeah it’s from Christmas vacation anyway so we really really enjoy this coffee and that’s not just because we personally know the owner it’s fantastic coffee we wouldn’t have bought the second bag if we didn’t like it right yeah Kopi Luwak coffee yeah that’s the cat poop coffee it tastes like Aldi Daily basics and it cost a thousand times as much but if you have indeed tried d-town roasters coffee let us know in the comments either right now or in the replay what you thought about it or if you plan on being in central Illinois look up tournesol and Merchant Street and see if we can get some or just find d-town Roasters on Facebook Decatur, Illinois home of Lincoln’s first speech we learned that political speech and the original Chicago Bears they were not the Chicago Bears they were the Decatur whatever the guys last name was We can’t remember it was just the guys last name but anyway check em out hey we don’t want to say your name but Hi we were just near Chicago yeah but we had a great time there in central Illinois so all right we’re gonna go because our kids are over there I think they’re feeding some birds rice or something and we don’t want anything bad to happen to those birds all right well thanks everybody for joining us on the live review and we’ll see you next time and until then keep grindin

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today’s coffee is a house blend but it’s okay to have it outside of an RV too so today we are reviewing great values 100% Arabica house blend another Walmart right it’s supposed to be a medium roast right bold and nutty it’s also supposed to have a bright finish full body bright finish bold and nutty yeah so great value so far has been surprising coffee surprisingly good I’m telling you this has been the most surprising coffee that we’ve tasted so far all these reviews I think Anthony right does he drink this coffee or he drinks I think great value I think yeah I could be wrong sometimesI think but I remember thinking about when he said that he drank it I was like gross are you even human but it’s really good like it is surprisingly good coffee I just you know throwing it out there if you’ve never tried it just try it try it give it a whirl oh my gosh yeah 388 for this bag twelve ounce bag so it’s 5:17 a pound that’s almost super cheap I mean that’s super super yeah and it’s probably going to be one of those ones that’s consistent as far as those ones that’s grammatically annoying I don’t know it’s not that my mom’s an English teacher or anything right but the it’ll probably be a consistent type right so I would think that Walmart whoever’s coffee they’re stealing Sorry there’s a very large butterfly they’re so pretty and scary at the same time okay but it’s it’s probably gonna be a consistent type of coffee like they’ll make it the same way over and over and over again so we’ll tell you what we think of this kayla is already drinking yeah it’s um well so many things but I do get a nuttiness for sure I even smell in it yeah got a really nice smell the butterfly is right there if you can see it I don’t know if you can see its shadow but it’s huge it is it’s like that big it’s pretty but I also noticed a caramel notes in it too I feel like like just occasionally I’ll get this sip and it’s like yeah I’d tell you it’s it’s hard to think about great value I think we’ve mentioned this on all of our coffees because you although all the great value coffee reviews just that we’re surprised how good it tastes yeah I mean like you know I know we mentioned this before but you know Consumer Reports did do a study and people preferred great value to Starbucks it was a different blend but still you know I I mean I think I would have a darn hard time picking out this one as being super cheap prepared to like you know a more expensive coffee yeah somebody even said that the they commented on one of the videos I think on one of our lives Aldi flavored coffee videos that the great value flavored coffees are good we have not gotten them yet we we will at some point in time will see right now I think we have about 12 bags of coffee so we’re working through those but we’ve been very pleased yeah and for and for being the price that it is and it’s always available I mean yeah you’ve got a Walmart yeah where you live if you’re watching this in United States you’ve got a Walmart and I I don’t even know I’ll show my ignorance I don’t know if Walmart is outside of the United States surely surely by now I don’t know those of you who are watching from other countries Canada I know we have people in England and I think even Germany I’m trying to remember but let us know do you have Walmarts but so overall this coffee is really good it’s cheap donut rating I’d say probably a four yeah yeah okay it’s not like I mean we can taste those things the caramel and the nuttiness the price is super cheap yeah yeah so there you go four doughnuts on this great value House Blend have you had this great value house blend before let us know in the comments below what you thought about it and tell us about the other great value coffee’s that you’ve had either you enjoyed them or hated them or you took it back to the store and returned it yeah I think they do have a guarantee because it was so awful yeah quality and great price guaranteed if you’re not happy you can get your money back and at Walmart you can even take things back that you didn’t buy there we don’t do that but people do it yeah but anyway let us know what you thought or what you think in the future da da daaa and thanks for joining us until next keep grindin'
