Who Should Drink It

Everyone who's gotten hooked on the carbon-overlaying-bittersweetness of the Starbucks taste. Aside from Peet's, which is probably more so, the quintessential coffee for the West-Coast French-press experience: gritty, pungent, and stands up against almost anything you put in it. Unless things have changed recently, do not serve this coffee drip-brewed at a PTA buffet in New England.
