It is. Their signature "taste" comes from roasting the beans to a point where the oils start to separate and go bad, then they grind it ultra fine, and use twice the grounds per pot than anyone else. This gives a burnt, oily, strong, and highly caffeinated drink. The numbers are staggering, their coffee is so caffeinated that it's damned near dangerous. Of course, now we have things like Red Bull, which IS dangerous, yet people will drink SEVERAL of them a day...
We're on the edge of what will prove to me a medical meltdown in America...people are freaking poisoning themselves with caffeine these days, and it's gonna do something REALLY bad to us REALLY soon.
