Coffee

[Roger]

I am interested in finding inexpensive cofee in whole beans. I find some very interesting varieties at places like Trader Joe's and at grocery outlet. Last bag that I got (from grocery outlet) was awsome stuff. A 2 lb. bag of beans for $8.00 or around that price. I like the medium roast type coffee, especialy Kona blend coffees. It is a difficult thing for me to drink anything from a can (pre - ground). Nothing beats the flavor of grinding your own coffee and brewing it right away, except perhaps roasting your own and then grinding it. I have yet to try that myself. I like kona blend coffee because of its low acidity and smoothness. Along with the coffee I enjioy hazlenut flavoring in mine. Otherwise butter rum or butterscotch flavoring is something that I add on occassion.

Roger do they have T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or Home Goods where you are. These are all owned by the same company but normaly have a good selection of coffee's. I get the Kona Gold, Hawaiian Gold at Marshalls often (2lbs about $7.00 ). They also have a variety of coffee's. Nice gourmet stuff, both whole bean and ground.

I see none of you guys buy Mr. Jerry's overpriced crap, LMAO!

Seriously, if you google anything that guys sells, you can easily find it cheaper than the prices he gouges his customers for.

I never ordered any, simply because most of his coffees were of south American descent, and I don't care for south American coffees, with the sole exception of Nicaraguan coffee. To me, south American coffee has a sweet/sour taste that I can't get used to. Maybe if I made espresso with it would I not mind so much, but I don't think I would ever drink a regular-brew or even french press of south American coffee.

They were a tad expensive, I will agree. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for good coffee, but I have to know that it's good coffee to begin with.

Mark,

Don't mean to be pain in the ass but Nicaragua is not considered to be South America. Regionally it is considered Central America but officially it is actually part of North America.

I agree as well, I love Nicaraguan coffee. I am taking a trip down there for work in March. Let me know if there is anything in particular I can get for ya.

You are correct. I misspoke. The coffee I meant to dislike was central American coffee. Thanks for straightening me out.

I don't know of anything special in the way of Nicaraguan coffee so as to make an educated guess, but thanks for the offer anyhow.

I also like Turkish coffee. I know you can make Turkish coffee with normal coffee beans, but I also know there are designated brands of Turkish coffee. Anyone tried experimenting with this?

Usually whenever I get coffee it is one of the bolder brews from Einsteins because that is what is in the commons here.

I love Turkish coffee, too. My wife is an Army brat and grew up in Europe, so she knows how to make Turkish coffee. Yes, you can use regular beans but you need a grinder that can actually grind them down that fine, which is the biggest problem she'd had. She mixes in a little bit of milk to cut it and make it creamy, and if you need a good jump start in the morning man this stuff is it.
