    Great job with the video! Unfortunately with all that QC I've still not had a great bag of coffee from them. I try their stuff off and on looking to give a second chance even tried different water recipes but.... Great branding at least. I've also lived in Australia and close to Portland Oregon so I would say there standards are on another level.

      btw, yes i just found more hip young people with the deliberate 'worst bad haircut' look thats going around. it turns out it takes a good hour at the barber to make it look that way and so it will grow out looking worse each day.
