Hi Kerry,

Kona coffee is one of the best that I have tried but it can get expensive. Here is a website where I have purchased some coffee from: http://www.gevalia.com/Gevalia/ They have different kinds from around the world.

Kerry,

The Blue Mountain is a great coffee. My daughter got married in Jamaica about 7 years ago. We drank it at the resort and just loved it. Now, when ever I hear that someone is going to Jamaica, I give them money to bring back several pounds and put it in the freezer. I think it's maybe $15.00/pound in the small shops.

Jason,

You need to seriously look into offering beans, grinders, mugs, carafes, airpots etc through the eCabinets Systems Members Store! That way we can all justify the $15-$40 per pound price with our accountants, the IRS and any non coffee drinking members of our households. :wink:


Kerry,

I do like the Hawaiian coffees, but can only drink so much. (You can see the oil slick floating in your cup!) I've also tried the Jamaican coffees, and while they're a slightly different taste than Hawaiian (same type of climates) again I can only drink so much. Charbucks isn't bad, but I usually just have a cappucino so I'm not certain what their coffee/espresso tastes like without anything in it.

Wal-Mart house brand 100% Arabica for me :D ...not gonna pay $40, $20 or even $8 per pound of coffee.

We do get some good coffee when we go to the Dominican Republic though, Santo Domingo brand. It's about $2 per pound and tastes great.

After I noticed this thread getting 20 posts in 2 days, I decided to close the shop and open a Custom Coffee shop instead. Send me your orders boys! At $40 a bag I can get rich alot faster with beans than boards. And the dust from ginding beans smells good!

OK. I didn't mean to imply that I drink Jamaican coffee every day. It's just for holidays and special occasions. I am, after all, living on a cabinetmakers pay.

Does anyone here buy green beans and roast your own? The flavor of freshly ground beans is so wonderful that I think the freshly roasted beans would be almost too much to take. I am also thinking about trying a French Press coffee maker. (cowboy coffee without the grounds) I already carbon filter my water which makes a big difference but may start using bottled water (reverse osmosis)
As you can tell, the perfect cup of coffee has become an obsession with me.

Kerry,

Carbon filter is better than bottle water. I find that bottle water sometime they remove to much stuff from the water and it doesn't enhance the taste.

You'll like a french press Kerry. It's like squeezing every drop of goodness from the beans.
