Fewer and fewer of my friends are working for Starbucks these days. Which means less and less free coffee for we Donovans. As long as we’re paying for it, we thought we’d play the field a bit – try some new beans.
Gorilla Coffee was our first pass – and a strong one at that. They’re out of Brooklyn, so you have to order on line, but their website is
awesome and makes purchasing a breeze. They personally confirmed my order within minutes of purchasing through paypal. MY beans arrived two days later.
Unlike Starbucks, the brewing instruction on the side of the package are dead on. The beans smell amazing, and the packaging ain’t tooo shabby either. DonovanHouse strongly recommends this product.

Keep the reviews coming! Looks like a fun way to try different beans — the shipping is what looks like the killer though.
We’ve been enjoying Starbucks Expresso whole beans lately.
No – you’ve been enjoying Starbucks Espresso. whole beans lately. Sorry – pet peave. Same with the term “expecially.”
MATT! Dude!
That’s how Kristin scolds me. Jason, I apologize for being insensitive.
Ha ha ha. Sorry, I had to laugh at the spelling correction. Matt, did you know that is one of Roger’s biggest pet peeves too? (yes, I corrected you, it is peeve, not peave.) Doesn’t your Firefox underline your spelling mistakes?
I’m not sure if this comment was mean… I think it might have been, although I didn’t mean it to be mean. Have a great weekend!
Roger gave up coffee for Lent, so I’m going to not tell him about your coffee reviews until next Sunday… and by then we might be distracted by a new little baby!! 9 days to our due date
Oh MY…
Wow! Congrats, Susan! I was wondering when you were due.
As Matt likes to say.. this is A – MAZE – ING!!
Thanks Matt for the heads up on this stuff. Gorilla Coffee is a new fav of mine. Matt’s my new hero.
