This guy is definately doing a service for the GI. Being a cheap ole Goat the prices are a tad step for me, but are cheaper in Iraq than Starbucks is in Hopkinsvill, KY. And needless to say I’m way to cheap to buy there. Fancy designer coffee, YUCK, COFFEE should be BLACK!

I was in TQ when the Green Bean opened there last year and it was definatly appreciated. TQ is a MARINE base and the sad but true fact is that MARINE bases are often the last to get the comforts taken for granted on an Air Force or Army base. Thank You.

Pretty smart idea, the shipping container. And I’m glad someone said something about the prices, I was curious. So they’re cheaper than Starbucks, thats good to hear. I bet the business expenses and paper/legal work to operate in those countries are outrageous and hard to keep track of. I was originally wondering if they were subsidized, but didn’t sound like it. Props
