As a matter of fact, I do. Do you, is the real question. Because you
play at one level does not mean others play at a more discriminating
level. I can taste the fall off after 72 hours, but do not object to the
change. Oh yes, where did sf mention "freezing" the coffee? What was
said is that "it can sit for up to a week..." That is not frozen. Had sf
said that, I would have not disagreed.
