Because of these people:



from Best in Show (how funny is Parker Posey?)

Helena, Montana.

Driving. Leave tomorrow evening.

Holy shit.

Perry, I thought you were in England, or someplace?

That is because Kona (like Jamaica Blue Mountain) should not be a blend ... the stuff's so darn expensive, though, that's why you rarely see it as a stand-alone bean. What varies wildly is the percentage of Kona to non-Kona beans. I suspect that most of them contain the minimum amount to still be considered Kona. Kind of like Hawaiian Punch saying it's made of fruit juice, when the actual juice content is 7-10%.

In other news, I also prefer a dark roasted coffee.

We stayed near Kona on the last few days of our honeymoon. 15 years ago.

Kona coffee:

We have a Tully's here and it is straight ass mixed with essence of more ass. Seriously, it's on the side of the package.

I don't like Starbuck's coffee much but I do like some of the mixed drinks.

lol

well that tells you how bad I think Starbucks is if comparison is any measure. It must be worse than I think if I think ass tasting Tully's is better.


SOO what coffee do you like?

I like African, Indonesian and Kona coffees. I also like Seattle's Best and Boyd coffees too.

I still say Dunkin Donuts has the best coffee in the commercial market.

mmm dunkin:donut: and :coffee: :drool:

Trader Joe's Guatemalan beans, burr-ground and drip-brewed in my kitchen. By my husband. :love: :yum:

Duncan Dönitz... half Scot, half German, this mercenary warrior is all trouble...

Haven't met a bad coffee from Trader Joe's yet, likely because all their coffee is in the bean -- you may grind it in the store. Right now I have Tanzanian Peaberry and Femenino in the freezer. About every time we get a new coffee from these guys it's immediately my faaaaavorite. :D

I can sure suck me up some Café Bustelo, too -- and Pilón. Straight or mixed. They're espresso-ish enough to do the Vietnamese Iced Coffee thing with great effect (Food & Drink; Latest Recipe Thread, lots of pages in though).

Am I the only sumbitch here that drinks Folgers? I mean come on folks.. That dude picks each bean by hand and somehow keeps the donkey musk off it. Show some respect.

Folgers has to be on a really good sale. I mean like amazing.

For commercial coffees, I prefer Maxwell House's Dark Roast.

Especially at 3/$5.

It's not perfect, but it's drinkable.

Eight O'Clock Columbian is good. I like that even without A&P Markets, you can still get the stuff.

I drink most of my coffee at home, as there is only one cafe in town that allows smoking. So I bounce between the Folgers and the Max house, whichever is cheapest. I've learned not to experiment with the REALLY cheap brands. Tried one one time that tasted like cat piss smells. EWWWW

That's the one that the cheap bastard at work keeps buying when it's his turn for the coffee.

I hand him a twenty every now and again (even though I rarely drink office coffee) just to make sure he doesn't buy the crap™ in case I DO want to drink office coffee. I'm really the only coffee drinker on my shift, when there were two of us, we'd brew a pot nearly every night, but the chick cow orker, she drinks coffee, but only from the WaWa, too much of a princess to make her own, I guess. If I'm really, really in need, I can send the ambulance. But I have to catch them in the right mood, sometimes.

So I drink tea if I really need the caffeine.
