Re: Thanks for the feedback
Well now, thank you for that insight. Could it be that I used that smiley perhaps because I thought you weren't very funny. Didn't you ever hear when you don't have something nice to say-don't say anything at all?If you "don't know so much about this country," may I suggest using a method we had to use while I was in high school: the public library and encyclopedias?
And for your and everyone's information, I am Mrs. Coffee-actually Michelle, but whatever works.
And this is just one of many resources I am using for my college paper.
Once again, I appreciate everyone's comments. If anyone ever needs help in the US, I'd be more than happy.
I'm really not a bad person-Americans are really not bad people.

You don't get out much, do you? There is a reason we are told to maintain a low profile when traveling or living abroad. It's because we have an evil president and we are evil by association.coffee anyone wrote:Americans are really not bad people.
1. Oh, you are so right! SO many simply think Finnish coffee is brewed strong (often it also is...), but the distinct taste is because of a different roast. No to my liking, because this specific roast makes the coffee bitter already when you make it a little bit stronger.therese wrote:1 Finnish coffee has a different roast.

2. True as well, but now this... My mother in law, who only wants kotimainen, even when she sees it's lower quality and much more expensive (like the tomatoes often), only accepts this Juhla Mocca brand. Last week I caught her sipping a regular coffee at Arnolds. Arnolds poors Douwe Egbert's coffee, which is Dutch (owned by Sara Lee -US) This coffee IS different than Finnish coffee and when I asked her how she liked it, she needed to admit that although different, it was good (but man, did she had trouble swallowing her pride for admitting this!) So here you see, just don't advertise that it's foreign and they will grow to like it

See now the confusion is here you have to know about different countries to even pass highschool.coffee anyone wrote: And this is just one of many resources I am using for my college paper.
BTW you're not the first one doing a paper on coffee& Finland
Hello everyone! I am working on a market research report about coffee preferences in Finland, and I am wondering if anyone could give some information regarding trends, preferences and prices! Please let me know, if possible, what is the average retail price for coffee in supermarkets, coffee shops, etc. I will highly appreciate to have some feedback on this, please help me out!

Cheers, Hank W.

I like the Finnish coffe and Juhla Mocca. In the US people seem to like a darker roast than I like. Here it's easier to find what I like. Also, people in the US hated coffee brewed by me usually because I like it strong. In turn I didn't like most coffee made by someone else because it was SO weak.
Don't worry, it only feels kinky the first time....

Re: Thanks for the feedback
I'm not quite sure why you have such an ethnocentric mind frame. Unfortunately, we don't get to study coffee preferences in highschool-maybe you did? So I apologize for asking for help-perhaps I should be acting like every other business and not conducting my own market research.See now the confusion is here you have to know about different countries to even pass highschool.
Wow-what a concept? Could that be because Finland consumes more coffee than any other country? And it really is a BIG WORLD out there!BTW you're not the first one doing a paper on coffee& Finland
I hope you find some happiness in life-I think the lack of sun has eaten at your smile.

Do you have toothpaste there in Canada, eh?coffee anyone wrote:do you have the same system of print, radio and tv advertising?
Not really, I was just pointing out they got a load of links to statistics & whatnot but as apparently if it is too much to follow up...Could that be because Finland consumes more coffee than any other country?
Lack of coffee, actually.I hope you find some happiness in life-I think the lack of sun has eaten at your smile.

Re: Thanks for the feedback
You know as well as the rest of us, you were talking about the fact that you didn't know "much" about Finland. Presumably there was geography where you went to high school(?)coffee anyone wrote: Unfortunately, we don't get to study coffee preferences in highschool-maybe you did?

I think a good place to put a starbucks and all the other stores in that chain would be in some inhabitable place in Lapland.coffee anyone wrote:Where would be a good place to put a Starbucks in Finland?
