This gift set is perfect for anyone who loves coffee! I am addicted to the dark roast because it is just so delicious, smooth, hints of cocoa and perfect in every way! I usually use the pods but I jumped at the chance to get the set and try the dark ground for my drip machine. Plus I got that beautiful colorful lil mug! So I held a little taste test, compared the two methods making sure proportions were right, and wow just delicious either way!! I have not had any other coffee since...in fact the other day I remembered a dark roast I used to like from well known (starts with S) and tried it again. Down the drain it went because Dios Mio was superb compared to it! So much more flavorful and smooth and rich. People who love flavor and rich dark roasts that have not tried Dios Mio do not know what they are missing. Forget the acidic ugh taste because you wont find it with Dios Mio....these women know their coffee for sure!! I love the mug too, and my only suggestion would be to put that cute lil monkey on the mug to add to the brightness one feels when enjoying Dios Mio with the colorful mug!!! Thank you to the gifted Columbian women who create Dios Mio! Please know your coffee is just loved!
