[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for Average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee says “Life is too short to drink bad coffee.” But apparently their company’s life was too short.
– So today we are reviewing Life Plus Style Gourmet’s Life Is Too Short To Drink Bad Coffee Really Good Dark Roast. So I’m kind of confused first of all. So the company’s name is the “Life Plus Style” and then this is the, I don’t really know. But basically we were looking up, trying to find some information about this company because we found this at HomeGoods.
– Mhmm. Well we came across their Facebook page and saw they had like a one star–
– Yeah, like horrible reviews.
– rating.
– Which we were surprised about because we’ve been drinking this coffee for, you know the past week or so. But really horrible, like go read the reviews. People hate this coffee, like with a passion.
– Either they hate it or there’s just a bunch of fake bad reviews.
– There were some things I thought “Is that really an actual real review?” But the Farmstand Blend was really the most offensive to people, this is a different blend. So 12 ounces, it was $4.99 at HomeGoods.
– Which is good.
– Cheap coffee how can you resist picking up a pack?
– Right?
– That’s what we thought.
– But the last post that the company did on Facebook was in 2016. So it looks like they’re no longer in business or they’re operating under a different name. It’s called shell corporation.
– Well, that’s not, we’re not accusing them of being a shell corporation.
– No, but so this coffee may not even be available.
– But you might find it.
– It’s probably still on the shelves because the expiration date on here isn’t until 2019, I don’t think. So, maybe it’s still out there.
– I love the packaging though. Can I just say?
– Yeah it looks really neat.
– Like it is really fancy and I mean life is too short to drink bad coffee. They’ve got a point. But–
– The thing is,
– What?
– If they made only this coffee they probably would’ve survived perhaps.
– I think so, I think it’s a really good cup.
– Unless, there are just bad batches.
– I wonder, because people like, in three of the reviews they said “floor sweepings.” I’ve never even heard that phrase before. So I wondered if it’s fake reviews. People were saying there was like, a bolt in their coffee and other people were saying rocks were in their coffee.
– Yeah.
– Just a lot of other things and it was just kind of odd.
– We haven’t found any of those in our coffee. So far we’ve been well pleased with the coffee.
– Yeah.
– It’s…
– I’m kind sad that they don’t make it anymore.
– Right?
– I mean maybe. I mean I’m looking there’s no bolts in here.
– It’s kinda nutty.
– Yeah it’s nutty and it is a dark roast which I really like. It’s got kind of a chocolatey, like every morning that I’ve had it, it’s just been “Oh, I like this coffee.”
– Oh, one thing I wanted to point out is somebody said, “Be honest there’s no coffee in those mugs.” I don’t know if you can see or not but there’s coffee in there.
– There’s always coffee. There’s never been a review where we’ve just sat there with an empty cup. I mean cause who doesn’t love a good excuse to drink some coffee?
– Right. Even when it was the bad stuff we still said “Ugh, we’ve gotta do this.”
– Ugh, there were some bad ones.
– So yeah, what would we say, nutty, chocolatey?
– Yeah, nutty, chocolatey, kinda rich and roast-y.
– Yeah, just smooth.
– I like it. $4.99, I’ll buy that all day long.
– Yeah, I know, yeah we’d buy it again if it’s on the shelf. But then who knows, like we said we may pick up another bag of the exact same thing, exact same lot number. I don’t even know if there are lot numbers.
– But maybe it was, maybe there was a lot of inconsistency with the brand. That’s why it’s maybe not in business? It wasn’t conclusive. Well, their website doesn’t work anymore. Did we say that?
– Yeah that’s right. From the Facebook, it’s inactive, the link is a Go Daddy part domain.
– So it looks like they’re not, at least Life Plus Style Gourmet is not in business any longer. But like we said if you see it pick it up, give it a shot. It’s only five dollars for the bag. I think a donut rating, maybe a four?
– Eh, three and a half, four?
– Three and a half? Yeah we’ll do three and a half.
– Yeah well three and a half because I hesitate to say four since so many people seemed to have had such a horrible experience.
– We don’t want you to get a bad bag.
– It kind of plays into my “Ooh, I don’t know,” and because their out of business. So it’s kind of a moot point but we thought hey, we’ll do the review anyway because you’re still able to find it on the shelves.
– Not that we’re the be all end all of reviews for the coffee.
– Basically we bought this coffee and it’s like, well we gotta do the review anyway.
– Let’s try it.
– We’ve sunk five dollars into it, so.
– Right. But if you’ve had any of the Life Plus Style Gourmet coffees let us know especially if you had that farmer’s, what was it called?
– Farmstand.
– Farmstand? Let us know if it was as terrible as
– Did you find..
– all of those reviews said. Did you find any human fingers or anything inside of the bag
– Or bolts or rocks.
– Or floor sweepings.
– Or sticks and yeah, floor sweepings?
– Let us know in the comments below, we’d like to talk with you about that and find out what happened to the company if maybe you know.
– Right.
– Alright well, thanks again for joining us and till next time.
– Keep grindin’.[/spoiler]

How to Buy
We can’t find this for sale online so you may just look for it in stores as we mentioned in the video. We did find a press release from January 2018 talking about White Coffee Corporation teaming up with Life Plus Style, but we couldn’t find any evidence of that on White Coffee’s website.
