90	Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Waterbury, Vermont Breakfast Blend Roast: Medium Review Date: February 1997 Origin: Various Price: NA

Blind Assessment: An exquisitely balanced traditional American-style coffee. The acidity is dry without astringency, alive with slight fruit or wine notes. Enveloped in the matrix of the body, it is always present but never dominant.

Notes: An exquisitely balanced traditional American-style coffee.

Who Should Drink It: Traditionalists who are acute enough to catch the grace notes. Don't waste this coffee on a buffet, the fruit notes will burn off before anyone tastes them. Brew it in a drip maker, but drink it mindfully, right after it dribbles. Go easy on the additives. If you're entertaining a small group that mixes coffee snobs with supermarket palates, this one might have a shot at pleasing everybody.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
