Ristretto: Retail Coffee: Royal Cup Coffee

My parents, in their frugality, have a burgeoning collection of hotel coffeemaker pods in their freezer.  Today, while housesitting, I tried a few from Royal Cup Coffee.  Though the pods were stale, I could tell that the coffee had at one time been really good (if that makes any sense).  I'll have to order some fresh beans (and perhaps pods, if there is a reasonable expectation that they will be freshly ground when packed).
