Tighten up the sommelier statements,
Bright, rich, balanced, full body with hints of dark chocolate, tart cherry and citrus.
very good body leads me to think you have a swedish bikini team member drinking it..
I have no clue what single origin drinker means
Single origin refers to a a single bean type. Like Single Malt Scotch.
Coffee drinkers know the nomenclature.
Tightened her up as recommended.

Rey HRHNobody's mentioned this but on the home page with the picture on top, there's a blurred picture on either side. Can you just not put a backdrop of perhaps coffee beans? That way, it's not reminiscent of those phone pics that are vertical.
Also, the picture itself needs to be positioned down so that more of the coffee bags are visible and less of what looks like a speaker that the bags are sitting on top. The speaker/shelf is taking up about 25% of the vertical space. With the title on top, it looks like you have about a third of the space for the coffee bags that include the brown packaging below the label.
Maybe just do a closeup of the labels on the coffee bags.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Because of the way GoDaddy does the image, it does that anyways.
I tried uploading different sized images, and it still does that effect.
I don't like it either, but will address that when it goes live. I hope.

at-home-daddyI still see a number of grammatical and punctuation errors, but I’m sure others will chime in and cover those as well. What I thought I would suggest is featuring YOU in the photo where it says you have a large personality...but then the subsequent photo has an empty, unmanned table, which kind of belies the claim. You’re selling yourself as much as the coffee on this website, so it seems like your face should be prominently featured, just as you did with your wife.

rainman64Okay, I rewrote the HTML, and now it should be better.
Never liked the blurring.

I hadn't considered putting me on there.
That is a good idea!

M-11I believe "Hey Honey? should be "Hey, Honey?" If you think about it, when you want someone's attention there's a slight hesitancy between the words. Otherwise it comes out hay honey. Whatever that is.

Yeah, now that I think about the moment, it was a question to get my attention, then, followed by a statement.
Returned the ?
That could be added to the grammar nazi label
Hey, Hay
Then, Than

Great site, good luck!

Roger. If you can control that box, maybe you can make the background clear, no outline and increase font size?

I will do that when I get back home on my PC.
I will have to Photoshop it.

fatmanspencerrker toned spice notes. Most would call it a pretty sweet chocolaty cup with a bit of
darker toned, and with a bit need to get rid of the spacing under the dixie blend
Used guns deserve a home too

It should be "Nazis". "Nazi's" indicates possession, like "The Nazi's MP40."

You're a fine looking guy, and I agree that your photo should be on the site, but I'd up the Raingirl content, too. She's cuter.

Yeah, crazy comes in a pretty package. But the price I pay, gives me pause sometimes.

Where she lands on the crazy/hot matrix is all that matters.
