Hey Bros. I'm seeing if anyone else is a coffee fanatic. I get mine from Central America, Indonesia, and Africa. I have a home roasting machine, conical burr grinder, and Bonavita brewer. Also a French press. Anyone else love coffee this much?
Coffee is the last of my vices. Drugs are gone; alcohol is gone, but coffee?? I will be buried or burned with cup in hand!! But I don't do all that crap that you do. I buy a large bag of Starbucks Home Brew for home and that satisfies my last vice.
Marshals and TJ Maxx have a great variety of different coffee to try. I used to get a really good Kona that was only $4.99 for a 1lb bag. I haven't seen it in there in quite a while. I'm no expert, I just like what I like. Cuda, good for you for cutting those others out, some people are not so strong.
Before '91, I never drank coffee. The first time in CR was on the cheap. We were hitchhiking between Jaco and Dominical. Noticed some objects scattered on a drive way. When we went up to see what it was the owner came out. He was drying beans he grew in his back yard. He ground us up some. It was like rocket fuel. As we left he said, "El uno primero esta gratis. Pero. mas tarde, necesitan regresar a me." Now I have to order from Cafe Rey.
