The French roast is great!

I'll have to talk to Sams club here, since they don't carry eight-o-clock.

I've drank if from time to time. CR reports rated the 100% Columbian as one of there top pics, so I went back to it. I can't say I was impressed with it after drinking the exotic roast that they have at Sam's or Costco. I find Starbucks bitter also. The 8 Oclock tasted like something I would get a breakfest diner. Not bad, but not as good as others.

I don't think anyones saying it's the best coffee on the market. Just a good buy for the price. I prefer Peet's, but it cost 3-5 times as much.

Glad the wife is still a cheap date.

Finally signed up. I got 520 points for a 42 oz bag.

I just entered 2 large bags, and I put in for $25 and a coffee mug and a bag of coffee.

Oh, now I'm pissed!

I received a note saying that I've reached the lifetime limit for entering product codes!!! There is nothing in the 'rule' that limits how many codes you can put in.

Bummer.

I was a few points short for 2 bags of coffee and 2 more mugs, so I submitted a new e-mail address as a friend. They will not allow you to register the same physical address. So I registered my parents address. I'm going to try to register my address again, but add an "A" to the end of the number.

Love 8 o clock, in the red bag. I didn't know about the points deal. Thanks for the heads up.

[red-beard]

I think there are only 2 months left on the point thing.

I've been drinking 8 O'clock for years. Never heard of this promotion, I'll have to check it out.

The local Publix grocery chain in Florida sometimes runs a special "2 for 1" deal, and I take about 8 bags home, then go to another Publix and get 8 more and fill the freezer.

I wonder how many they will let you log at one time-

From their website...

"Limit: Each Member can enter no more than six (6) small package Codes and two (2) large package Codes per month and no more than twenty-four (24) Codes per year."

Obviously to maximize the rewards, buy in the big bags. Too late now, this ends in 2 months I think.

I too got the message I'm done for the year. I'm sitting at 960 pts, but I did an email yesterday that they mailed my $25 Visa card that I redeemed for last month with 2500 pts.

To peeve me off further, Amazon just raised the price of my Eight O'clock $5 a month, so I cancelled when I found the local Wal-mart finally stocks it for much less. Plus I can use the in-bag coupons too.

I just logged on and entered two bags. I went to the catalog and everything is out of stock. WTF!

Missed that.

It was on sale yesterday locally, 36 oz bag for $9.99

I ended up with a $25 gift card, and 3 mugs and bags of coffee. I have already ordered a mug and bag of coffee with the new account.

Hey, I'll finished out the next 2 months, and then get everything I can. I like the look of the mugs. And free coffee? You can't beat that. I also have notes that the gift card and the 1st bag of coffee & mug are on the way.

Eight O' Clock isn't bad! Yuban is my favorite by far.

Back in the day before I moved to Seattle and became a card carrying coffee snob, I drank 8 O'Clock coffee. Its not bad.

Try the 100% Columbian. It much better than 'not bad'.

Again, I agree it's not bad. I'll put on my snob hat and state that I like to try many coffee's and don't like to stick with one for a long time. I enjoy some of the more unusual roast that have hints of Chocolate, nuts, carmel, and other flavors that go along with the coffee bean itself. 8 0'clock Colombian has plenty of coffee flavor, but thats about it. This morning I am drinking "Rwandan dark French Roast" It was from Costco and not much more the 8 O'clock. Very good. Dark but not bitter.

How does it compare to Dunkin Donuts? Been buying that at Costco.

Dunkin Doughnuts is a staple at my office. Everyone seems to like it and it comes already ground, which is a big plus.
