I have their French Roast unopened. I love the fact that they give the "acidity factor" on their coffees.

I drink coffee the way I used to drink ... other things. From the time I get up until the time I go to bed, I have a cup of coffee in front of me.
While the Gevalia regular coffees are good, I don't think they are good enough to warrant the prices they charge. Millstone's Breakfast Blend is almost as good; not sure if I've tried the Greco, and I'm with your husband on the Mocha Kaffe.
The only thing I get from Gevalia currently is the seasonal package, which ships two pounds of a different nationality 4 (maybe 5) times a year.
Our daily coffee is usually Millstone (Foglifter or Columbian, with French Roast and Bed & Breakfast for variety), which we buy in 5-pound bags a 4-5 times a year (not really saving any money on coffee, but I'm not going to the store for coffee every week-10 days, so the $30 worth of coffee doesn't become $80 worth of "stuff"). At the same time I usually order 8-10 pounds of Starbucks.
I also pick up the "house" blends from a couple of coffee houses whenever I'm visiting my daughters, and haven't been to a Dunkin Donuts in five years without picking up a couple of bags of their whole-bean coffee.
We go through a coffee pot in 6-9 months; the freebies from Gevalia generally only last 6 months around here. This last time I bought two - a 12 cup for daytime use, and an 8-cup I switch to after supper.
