That is not a valid basis for disagreement. The facts are that:

1. Their selection of roasted coffee is minimal, limited to one to three
varieties at a time.

2. For those of us who are limited to decaf, their selection of roasted coffees
is essentially nonexistent.

3. For those of us who don't drink central or south American coffees, their
offerings are similarly limited.

Susan, I agree with you that the quality of the things they sell is superb, but
"all things coffee" is very much an exaggeration..
