Dear Bryan the copywriter,
Dude, either you really know your coffee, or you really know how to write, or both. All of these totally rock! Very insightful headlines -- really, REALLY, nice writing. Bravo!

Sorry to say this, but I think it's a horrible type work

Guess you have to use the same type as in the package. Shame, the typework doesnt do justice to the brilliant copy. Had to go and read them all. Congrats, by the way "passingest" is pure genius.

Not even that, there are at least 3 totally different types in the packaging...Wouldn't associate it with coffee...maybe it's just me

i like the copy. very in your face and brutal! the art is a little shoddy though, thats what i think.

dudes, holy crap this is great. been awhile since i've truly enjoyed long(ish) copy ads. and the choice to go letterpress with the look?...brilliant. not sure if most people will understand that, but brilliant.

am glad to see great copy after a long long time.

i guess the art director also gets credit for ensuring that the COPY is the HERO of the ad.

congrats to both - the copywriter - who wrote this good shit-- and the art director - who ensured this good shit took center stage! :)

great work people.

keep it up :)
