This review is from: Cafe Du Monde,15 oz(Pack of 2) (Office Product)
Great coffee, I’ve been hooked ever since the worlds fair in New Orleans back in the 80’s when I sat down at the French Quarter and had a cup of this wonderful brew with a serving of Benyeys ( a sweet dough that is fried ) truly heavenly! Be warned this is no Girlie-man coffee, it is strong, but the secret is to drink it the way they serve it in New Orleans, that is, half a cup of this freshly brewed coffee, and the other half fill with fresh cream … take a walk on the wild side my friends, this is the real thing, you will not be dissapointed! Enjoy!

This review is from: Cafe Du Monde,15 oz(Pack of 2) (Office Product)
Cafe Du Monde, prepared with a floating of cream and a whisper of sugar, is what this coffee farmer loves for a super-special treat. Actually it is so affordable for a quality coffee, one could enjoy it almost daily.
I grow estate Kona coffee but sip considerable amounts of other growers/sources’ java in order to compare my offerings to alternative choices for coffee lovers. Top quality 100% organic, 100% Kona coffee is mellow, smooth yet packed with coffee flavor. The five stars for Cafe Du Monde is not knocking our local product!
However, coffee enjoyment can be enhanced by varying what one drinks. Thus, my own coffee, plus Cafe Du Monde and a few others are by the French press. Cafe Du Monde’s got a well-balanced blend of good coffee (no floor sweepings or off-roast tastes) and the chicory that combines with the coffee for a palate-pleasing crispness, intensity, tang & a non-acidic sharpness. Brewed straight, Cafe Du Monde is ultra-intense, thus for me at least, best enjoyed au lait.
Be careful to find a seller with quality shipping. Top quality coffee has a short shelf life because of breakdowns after roasting of coffee oils, sometimes even tasting rancid. (Properly stored green beans keep a year or more.) Cafe Du Monde brought from their New Orleans store makes a great cup at home. So does their coffee when bought on-line from reliable sellers. I buy what I will use within two months from a purveyor who stocks fresh roasted coffee/chicory Cafe Du Monde and ships properly.
So far, so good for this distributor and five stars for Cafe Du Monde.

Born in New Orleans and growing up at Cafe Du Monde, my son now lives in Denver, but MUST have this coffee! It is a simple, meaningful “all-occasion” gift, to purchase and have shipped to him, as he cannot purchase in Denver. AMAZON.com does a fantastic job hadling this for me and keeping my awesome son happy! HE ALSO THINKS THAT I GO TO A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR HIM (which does not hurt my image one bit)!!

This review is from: Valhalla Java Ground Coffee by Death Wish Coffee Company, Fair Trade and Organic 12 ounce bag (Misc.)
I am not warrior enough for this coffee and must return to wussier, medium-bodied blends. This is a truly powerful coffee. Its might is better conveyed through skaldic verse. However, my Old Norse is rusty, so I offer the following review in English instead:
If Odin strode ‘long the hard sands of Nastrond, The bleak shore near the Goddess of Death’s hall… If the High One scraped that black grit from His worn boots into a vast cauldron Filled with waters from the shrieking spring That howls and boils… Then this coffee would be formed. Mere mortal, do not drink this coffee. It will pierce your heart as a spear. It will bleed away your life’s blood. Mere mortal, do not drink this coffee. It will rend your soul into a thousand lost and screaming fragments. This beverage may only rightly be served, steaming, From the gray and polished skulls of the doomed. No creamer can soften its rage. No sugar can make it light on your tongue. Odin and Loki may sit on high seats far, Quaffing the brew and smiling Over follies of humans and Gods… But you, mere mortal, you… Do not drink this coffee.

This review is from: Valhalla Java Ground Coffee by Death Wish Coffee Company, Fair Trade and Organic 12 ounce bag (Misc.)
This coffee tastes clean and smooth, and the caffeine rush from it is amazing. Tastes great black and with creamer. I would definitely recommend this coffee, and am on my second bag.
Uh. Wait. Let me rephrase my review to fit in with the others.
Ahem.
I WAS REBORN ON THIS DAY, BIRTHED BY THIS BREW. THE TASTE IS SECOND ONLY TO THE DRAUGHT OF THE OLDEN GODS. TAKE A SIP AND REVEL IN THE TYPHOON FORCE OF THIS CUP… AND BE HUMBLED, MORTAL. AND HYPER. BE GONE WITH YE.

This review is from: Valhalla Java Ground Coffee by Death Wish Coffee Company, Fair Trade and Organic 12 ounce bag (Misc.)
After a 12 hour midnight shift of some intense desert traveling in the pitch blackness of the American southwest, I got home and found a bag of Valhalla Java patiently waiting for me at my door step. I ripped open the bag and carelessly dump heaping spoonfuls into me coffee marker without heeding the warning of Odin’s unimpressed scowl staring back at me from the label. I made the foolhardy choice of adding another heaping spoonful to the now massive pile of coffee. As I waited for the coffee to brew, Odin’s scowl seemed to shift into the faintest of grins and I found myself wondering what the All-Father had in store for me. A short time later the aroma of the flaming hot Odinforce that filled the pot snatched my attention, as it reached past my sinuses and took hold of my brain. I cannot clearly say what happened next , for I do not remember; however when the Odinforce released its hold of me it was almost 24 hours later and I found myself standing atop the freshly severed head of a 3 horned Rhinosaur. It was epic!

Take it from a coffee farmer, Cafe Du Monde for a super special cuppa,

Not Warrior Enough For This Coffee,
If Odin strode ‘long the hard sands of Nastrond,
The bleak shore near the Goddess of Death’s hall…
If the High One scraped that black grit from
His worn boots into a vast cauldron
Filled with waters from the shrieking spring
That howls and boils…
Then this coffee would be formed.
Mere mortal, do not drink this coffee.
It will pierce your heart as a spear.
It will bleed away your life’s blood.
Mere mortal, do not drink this coffee.
It will rend your soul into a thousand
lost and screaming fragments.
This beverage may only rightly be served, steaming,
From the gray and polished skulls of the doomed.
No creamer can soften its rage.
No sugar can make it light on your tongue.
Odin and Loki may sit on high seats far,
Quaffing the brew and smiling
Over follies of humans and Gods…
But you, mere mortal, you…
Do not drink this coffee.
