Favorite Coffee

Jamaican Blue mountain at 40+ bucks a pound is a nice treat, Bute the hot chocolate sparrow's contractors blend[vienna roast] is jam packed with flavor and go juice. 2 cups of that is my limit.

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.

Mine gets sent direct from JA, I get fresh beans cheaper than buying a pound from dunkies
With 3+ trips a year to JA, I also bring home "several" pounds to give away to friends....

Clearly you've been holding out on your coffee knowledge and experience all these years. We will discuss this further over a few beers in the near future...

Your brother says he's coming down Saturday. Are you game?

Glad you enjoyed Chef,Italian Verona has been my all time fave.Spence had some good tips but I would like to add that if you put cold tap water in the reservoir the night before,all the chlorine will disapate and you'll get a better cup.NEVER use hot tap water to start.

When I did drink coffee I liked Kona by far. Been to the Blue mountains and it is very good but I like the Kona because it is so smooth and mild. Not the blend crap they sell as Kona. Pure Peaberry, whole bean, Kona. I will say one thing though it taste's way better when you are on the Big Island drinking it. This place I have toured personally http://www.konalea.com/ and if you are looking for authentic 100% pure Kona I would buy it here. They grow and roast it themselves.Small operation. The whole Kona operation is small. It is only a 7 mile by 15 or so mile wide area on the side of the Volcano that grows all the Kona coffee. That is why it is so expensive. I did notice it has gotten more expensive. I usually order it for the wife for x-mas. Sorry for the long winded version but I was born in Hawaii and love to think about it. P.

You really shouldn't use hot tap water for anything besides showers and washing pots...

Hot water contains more bad stuff that cold.
