Thanks Scott!

Hey, I guess I've finally become a bean counter! ;-)

I guess I could serve up a few cups of "Idaho Eye-Opener" to sweeten the
deal (you provide your own sugar) :-).  As to strong French roast, that
would depend on how it's defined....we're Finns, so it's gotta be
strong, but the Charbucks style of producing miniature briquets doesn't
appeal to me much....I prefer to taste the coffee.  No bias here, of course!

Anybody who makes it up this way is welcome to drop in for a cup,
courtesy of "Red Finn Roaster"!

Thanks again,

Otto
