I'm on a recent kick of a nice, dark roast from a local grocery stored called Trader Joe's. Very roasty, and it's a real coffee...none of this maplenut crunch garbage.
funny story...Zone and I were hanging out at the bookstore where he worked back in the day, and I brought up how my mother returned from a cruise with a beautiful gift, 2 pounds of Jamaican Blue Mountain, which cost her all of $15...upon mentioning that fact, one of the store's regulars who answers only to the name of "Goo" whipped around and chimed up "2 pounds of Jamaican for $15?!?"..."No, Goo...COFFEE" I guess regular consumption of coffee would offset Goo's primary vice.
My point is, Jamaican Blue Mountain at a local $50 a pound is hardly worth it, but it's like a $106 Cohiba cigar from Cuba...you gotta try it. biggrin:
