They don't sell coffee but maybe you will find some info there.


I take no responsibility for any addiction/obsession you pick up over there. Don't blame me if you are selling you kids next week to buy a new grinder and machine.

I really like the Cuban Torquino that the roasters here roast up...very good.

[jasontp]

If you like Colombian try a Kenya AA or possibly a Guatemalan or Tanzanian. . . those should get you started!

My friend at Habanos Torres serves Bustelo Supreme with cinnamon sticks for stirring. It goes ridiculously well with the cigars.

I enjoy coffee very much as well. I am interested in getting a nice brewer for the weekends. During the week, I use my Senseo machine for my 1-cup to go in morning on the way out the door. On the weekends, I enjoy around 5 - 6 cups in the morning.

What kind of brewers do you guys like or have or use or whatever??? I will be interested in trying some nice 'home mixes' in the future too. I like the dark roasts as well as the flavors or hazelnut, caramel, irish cream and so on.

Ah, coffee. Another obsession....

Coffees to try... Ethiopian Harrar (will have a hint of blueberry and citrus in the flavor profile if fresh 3-14 days old), Ethiopian Yergacheffe (will have orange citrus flavor hints) also Brazilian Daterra villa Borghesi and Daterra Reserve.

As far as souces, there are quite a few. Inteligentsia is one, Terroir is another. The suggestion to visit CoffeeGeek.com is good, but beware. I visited that site in Jan of 05 with a Krups drip maker and a blade grinder and as of today have a 14 coffee makers of various types and sizes, a mid range burr grinder, an Expobar Office prosumer espresso machinem, a Macap M4 commercial grinder, a homemade roaster in the garage and about 70+ lbs of green coffee beans in the basement. My wife thinks I've LMFM! She better not look in the cooler in the basement! :agreesmil :wifey: :pokemyeye :eyequiver

Thanks for the promotion bro! I didn't want to say anything. Intelligencia seems to kinda be the "God" of wholesale coffee for those that are really in the know. . . Puff, I'm not saying don't try the Harrar or Yirgacheffe, but I've found a lot of people who are used to coffee coffee tastes tend to be put off by the fruity citrus flavors in the begining.

Ain't that the truth! I'm somewhere over 100lbs myself but I'm afraid to know what it actually is. Are you a member of the Green Coffee Cooperative?

The first time I tried this Guatemalan blend my friend had I didn't like it but after a few more weeks I liked it after a while. I don't drink coffee any more though. Yerba mate FTW!

Nice! Unclebeanz sells pre-ground for french press (And they also sell my press mug I got on the site even)

Yea yall are killing me..... so I got an espresso maker for Christmas, and I really dont want to buy Starbucks ground espresso.... Where can I get some good Espresso online???

[jasontp]

espresso is just a method of preparation. . . so any of the links that have been suggested so far will most likely have an espresso blend.

[tobby4]

awesome.... thanks

[joshua]

I like Bustelo or Pilon for espresso for that Miami cafe cubano flavor

No. Not yet. I have a couple of connections that I use regularly now and they just started a bag split system. I haven't gotten into that yet either. I need to settle into an espresso blend and then I'll start buying again....

So far I've found that Stumptown's (http://www.buyolympia.com/stumptowncoffee/Category=Blends) Hairbender is damn good and again,Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea (http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/coffee/blends) does very well with their Black Cat blend. I've just started exploring the espresso blends myself. I'd much rather roast my own, but haven't had much success with the home blends I've tried.
