A great first cup of coffee in the morning: truly lifts your morning fog!

I used to drink the darkest roast I could find in a red can of dusty ground brown stuff from the Acme. Then I got a burr grinder for Christmas, started working from home, and went on a quest for whole bean dark roast. After months disappointing gazillion dollar bags of beans from around the web, it was suggested (my kids know everything) that I try beans roasted locally. And that's where the affair began. I got bags of each of Pike Creek's medium to darkish roasts available at Zingo's, ordered another couple online, and fell in love with Morning Foglifter. It's dark and fragrant, with that smack of rich coffee goodness I love first thing in the morning. There's a sweet undertone, but no bitter taste or acidic burn. It's got a kick to it, but not like a triple espresso--just like a good cup of coffee should.
Now I order it by the 10 lb. bag and one of the guys from Pike Creek delivers it to my front porch. Yes, I said TEN POUND BAG. I drink a lot of coffee. Okay, I share this stuff too (with the kids who know everything). I'm so relieved to have completed my quest for the perfect coffee, and done with that crap in a plastic can.
I love this coffee, I feel good about supporting local business, and I get a kick out of the look on Brad's face when he hands me that gigantic bag. The neighbors are starting to talk.

This is the best coffee I've ever drank. Will never go back to store bought coffee!!!

Pike Creek is such a find. We are a dark roast household, and these guys do it right. Morning Foglifter is rich and tasty, with a bit of roasty zing that provides an expresso note w/o crossing the line. We make it strong - 14 measures to 8 oz of water - but I'm sure it's plenty flavorful with less. Bonuses: local, and fresh!

Both the coffee and the service are top notch!
