Blue Mountain is nice coffee, but it's not worth the cost. Not when the money could be better spent on my son's early education or handmade salumi.

There are too many great coffees to mention really. Just make sure it's freshly roasted, fair trade, stored and brewed with utmost care and you simply can't go wrong.

I'd take Starbucks over DD any day, but they tend to go overboard with the roaster on many coffees. Don't know if this is how they want it, or if it's just to mask bean or freshness issues.

Pete's is much better than starbucks, but for even money you can get better beans roasted locally at Coastal Roasters in Tiverton. Please patronize them whenever possible.
