DDs I'd rather drink 7/11 coffee for half a buck a cup less.

Starbucks---overpriced

I like Zabar's Continental Blend. Zabars ships mail order/online orders all over. About $5.99/lb as opposed to close to $10/lb for Lottabucks.

It's probably because you haven't a clue as to what you're doing

Commercial brewers have constant hot water.
Always-on heater.
They start with hot water.
Home brewers have the same coil for heating the water and the pot.
They start cold.

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.
