@santosha Yes they were. I'm still working on one of them. I'm trying to come up with factual dollar profits that will convince them it's worth their company's money to proceed. IMO, the easiest way to get factual numbers is use percentages. We have 3.5 million people in the U.S. who have epilepsy. For example: How many people drink coffee? How many cups per day? How many of those who drink caffeniated coffee and who have relatives of the people who have epilepsy will change to decaf? Using a conservative % of 1/3rd of that 3.5 million plus new decaf drinkers, I see big dollar profits. If anyone has any idea as to how I can gather factual numbers, please comment. I'd love to see a bold K-cup decaf. I think that's a winner. If people want a quick cup, they'll use any type of coffee. The BOLD taste is the key.

Hi Chris, I can't remember ( you know; short term memory syndrome ) if I responded to your question regarding large players in the coffee market. The answer is not something you would see on the grocery shelf. They are made by private entrepreneurs who built their business over the years. I've watched one climb routinely over the past year. They sell their coffee on-line. It's nice to have a live person who responds to their clientele. FYI: a large player in the coffee market is Community Coffee in New Orleans. Their, and other New Orleans large players use chicory to make a bold cup. I use their decaf, but it's not bold. Medium grade. I use big 2 tb of decaf and one tb of leaded (caffienated) to make a decent cup. Hope your Easter was pleasant.
