You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I almost always have a cup of coffee by my side or in my hand. I have tried and continue to try many types of coffee from around the world.
I like Gevalia coffee but at $6.45 for a 1/2 pound of their Signature Blend Ground Regular it is pricey and in my opinion not worth the price when I would be satisfied with my usual cup of Maxwell House that I get at the grocery store for $6.99 / 34.5oz.
One might be inclined to sign up for the Gevalia Coffee Club in order top regulate the cost a bit.

There are several reports of some sort of Gevalia Coffee Scam, I am not familiar with it but it seems a lot of folks are really upset.
RipOffReport as just one of many examples.

I think it's good, however, I like Starbucks just as well and it's available in the grocery store for less.

My experience with Gevalia may not be typical, but here's my story.....

I love coffee! If I don't have my coffee in the morning, I'm just not the same the rest of the day.

I decided to try Gevalia because of it's different flavors and styles of coffee. I was very excited because I do love flavored coffees. The particular flavors I tried I was not happy with. They tasted funny. Upon ordering, I was also to receive a free gift, a very nice looking black coffee pot, which in their catalog is listed as retailing for $99. Well, check this out. I get the coffee pot home (I think I was more excited abotu the coffee pot than the coffee) and it takes forever to brew a pot of coffee. No joke, it would take a half hour to brew a full pot. Then, after a couple of days, it stopped brewing altogether, instead steaming all the water away instead of actually brewing it into coffee.

So, in my opinion, no it's not worth it, but that's just me. The best coffee I have ever had I got in a major grocery store. It comes in single-pot pouches and it's called Red-Eye coffee. It is by far the strongest, but also the smoothest, coffee I've ever tasted. Really good coffee and not bitter at all!

I have been a consumer of Gevalia coffee for about two years and have not had any issues with the company. They auto send coffee and will also send 'new/special' coffees about 4 times per year. If you don't want it, just send it back unopened. They will credit your account. The first time I received their special coffee shipment on top of my original order, I called to put an indefinite 'hold' on any further shipments at that time and told them that I did not want the special coffee offer. They told me to keep the special shipment of coffee and enjoy it at no cost and they also put my membership on hold status as requested. The customer service rep was courteous, and very well-read in proper customer care. I don't have anything negative to say about this company and i LOVE the free coffee maker that I received. P.S. their signature blend coffee is the best coffee and I regularly receive compliments from guests regarding the premium taste!
Like any 'FREE' offer that you see: READ THE FINE PRINT and be informed of what the 'deal' entails. Nothing is free….You pay a premium for the coffee, but for me, it is worth every dollar per pound that they charge!

I think so. I've been ordering from them for at least 6 yrs. and have high regard for their QC. I never get any product from them thats poor in quality and I much prefer their coffee to Starbucks or Caribou. Their S/H has been spot on all these yrs. too. BTW I've had Jamaican Blue Mountain and pure Kona from Gevalia as well as from other sourses inc. buying it in erson while on vacation and I must say what I get from gevalia is consistent whereas what I've purshased by myself has been spotty. In one case I bought two identical 8 oz. bags of Kona for the going price. One was rich and nutty and just great but the other was swill. I've had similar experiences w/ Blue mountain too. However the Gevalia Blue M amd Kon ahve been perfect.
