Fresh Roasted Coffee

I have been drinking Bello Montana's fresh roasted coffee for a while now, and I've been telling everyone about it. I recently tried to convert a friend of mine who is a "Starbucks ONLY" kind of person. My friend Rob thinks that place is the end all for good coffee. How wrong, how wrong!

So, when I ordered and received my first bag, I was so wowed about the taste, I called Rob and told him to come by when he was out later, as I wanted to share some incredible coffee with him. He'd said he would stop by but he wouldn't try the coffee because nothing was fresher and better than Starbucks.
I told him Starbucks isn't even fresh roasted! I kept asking and asking, but Rob wouldn't even consider trying the coffee. Nothing was better than that "S" word place.

Anyway, after about 3 weeks of cajoling from me ( I even made him look at those cookies on the front page of the bellomontana website that made me drool like one of Pavlov's dogs!) and just when I felt like we were playing out a real-life version of Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham", Rob finally gave in and tried a cup of America the Beautiful and he said it was the best coffee he'd ever had. I explained how the coffee isn't even roasted until you order and showed him the Bello Montana website. When Rob left that day he asked for some coffee beans to tide him over until his order he was going to place when he got home arrived.

Later that week, I ran into another friend that I hadn't seen in a while, and we were standing there chit-chatting and catching up, when her cell phone rang and she looked at the display screen to see who was calling and rolled her big brown eyes and told me , "It's Rob again." Then she went on to tell me she had been avoiding Rob because he was calling her up every day trying to get her to come over and try some new coffee he found."

It was at that point I had to turn around and laugh.
