N&W Coffee

[NW Mailing List]

Ken et all:

I'm not a coffee "connoisseur" by any stretch, but I am at least a tad
discriminating, and I like the N&W coffee very much and will buy some more
soon.  By comparison, when my  late wife and I moved to SML, we bought some
H&C to try it out and were "underwhelmed."

Regards,

Dave Phelps
