Oh and I got my steaming cup of Jamaica
Blue Mt coffee
-------------------------------------
You're speaking my language loud and clear.........the Jamaican crop was
absolutely lousy two years ago and I went to the Ethiopian Harrar (a
close runner up, in addition to a distinct Arabica Hawaiian bean offered
by Gevalia),,,,did the Blue Mountain Crop rebound? Sometimes they get
two growing seasons per year. I couldn't justify the price for an
inferior bean that is supposed to set the standard,,we drank Blue
Mountain for years and until it changed two years ago due to a poor crop
year..,,,,I haven't tried this year's crop yet,.........nothing like
world class whole bean from a press out of a ceramic mug. Ditto for the
smoked salmon, although smoked mullet is a dead tie when making spread.
----------------------------------------------
Well, This years crop was good, and there is a bean that comes from the
next mountain over that is damn near as good. The local coffee shop
orders the whole beans for me, and I grind them fresh for each pot. heck
I love the smell of fresh ground beans as much as I love drinking the
fifnal product.
----------------------------------------------
Right on! A good supplier is just as valuable,,,I've seen several coffee
distributors selling old stock coffee....if it's been sitting in their
store for an amount of time, it's no good, but of course you already are
aware of this, being a coffee connoisseur yourself. Oh yea, I
agree,,,,when possible, never grind the beans until right before
brewing, but many places don't sell Blue Mountain whole bean because
they sell it by the cup. Mail order has yielded me the best bean, but
you really pay for it. What is the going price this year for the Blue
Mountain? I think it was around 42 bucks per pound before the bad crop.
I can imagine what it went to in the following year.

You might try Gevalia

tid=3D29&ITEM_ADDED=3Dfalse
I can ask the local store for their suppliers information also
From Gevalia it is $24.95 for 8 oz whole beans so $49.90 for a pound
I buy alot of coffee from Gevalia
_------------

Dig it,,,,I too, spend plenty of money with Gevalia..I think I mentioned
it above,,,,,,,it's where I obtained the Hawaiian Arabica bean,,,and I
did purchase Blue Mountain from them a few times.....2 coffee makers and
several ceramic sugar containers with their insignia. I've been buying
whole bean Dunkin Donuts for the past month or so,,that's as low as I
go.
