Hi Jose,
I'm 0 for 2 on IC. I think I got mine the same day you did. I believe Bo was told the wrong name when he got his.

Charles....39 days and counting WOOOHOOO!!! And I'm seeing all those pics you are posting and I'm soooo envious. By the way, that really looks like Goldfinger to me.
I'll get lots of closeups of the Ice Cream while I'm here.

Sound good I'll get some coffee beans ready.

Julian,
I found nothing wrong with the taste of "ripe" Orinoco. Compared to the standard store bought they were a smoother creamier and I thought good flavor. I can't wait to try my Goldfingers and a "real" Blue Java.
