I'll post a review after Xmas, Tuesday or Wednesday.
I’ll be a lot of people weren’t aware that Vietnam was such a large coffee exporter.

However, almost none of it is actually good coffee. They grow almost no Arabica beans. It’s nearly all Robusta, which contains more caffeine, but tastes far worse (think harsh, bitter, burnt tires).
The cheap stuff on the grocery store shelf that doesn’t specifically say “Arabica” on the label is Robusta.
I will say, there are a few growers and roasters I’ve heard about who have done some interesting things with Robusta. But that’s by far NOT the norm.
You generally want to stick with Arabica for good tasting coffee.
Gevalia ground from Amazon. It's approx $16 for 30 ounces. Nice smooth mild coffee.
Like I’m in Italy. Ristretto straight up with kitchen made acua minerale. Tasty.
Minus the Made in France part. 
Funny I read that on the box right after I posted hahaha nice roastMinus the Made in France part.
I'm not crazy about the aftertaste, but being a lungo, it's probably not as noticeable.

. I noticed Lavazza has now opened roasting facilities abroad, I'm not happy about it.

@Wheel366, here's my review of Peet's El Salvador Siciniapa Estate coffee.
While the beans are dark roasted, they are far from the darkest of Peet's roasts. The beans were roasted on December 14 and were about six or seven days old when I received them. They were slightly oily and fairly aromatic, and produced a cup made with the French press that had a medium crema.
This is a single-origin roast with a flavor profile that is very subtly orange and stronger caramel from the Apaneca region of El Salvador. It's not a heavy coffee, and it's what I'd call medium bright. I usually prefer a brighter, more lively, profile, although the brightness here matches the roast and flavor well.
While I generally prefer simple, straight-ahead coffees without fruity complexities, this one is a bit too one-dimensional. While good, it's just a bit more middle-of-the-road than I like, and some more brightness or a bit more flavor intensity would be welcome. Kicking everything up a notch or two would be ideal.
Kirkland brand
Thanks for the review. We are drinking Peet's Brazil. My wife isn't digging it. She said it tastes "dirty" if that means anything to you. She is in the flavor industry so she picks up on stuff that I don't get. Granted, my taste buds are shot from sinus issues and smoking cigars.

2nd of 4, 8 oz bags of a 4 variety sampler.
Tanzanian Peaberry. It's real good and smooth. I like the spice notes in Peaberries.

Currently dialing in a new grinder with some 7-8 day post roast Yemen Mokha Matari. End result (espresso) was just over 1 oz of 20W50, ending in 2 awesome sips.
What grinder did you get?
