For those of you that don't know Costco has a great coffee deal at least in the Austin store I go to. They roast in the store daily, and they sell a 2 lb bag of fresh coffee beans for $8 a bag US. They have Columbian decaf, and a few non-decaf. I usually get the Sumatran. Like I say I used to roast my own until I found out about this deal. There coffee was so good, and so cheap, with so little effort I couldn't really justfiy roasting my own anymore. I will again someday soon though I believe. I still miss all the different flavors I used to enjoy. Probably Sulawesi is one of my favs.

Check your local Costco for a similar deal.

Stop roasting your own beans, Bill!

You did this to me mister. You made me join. Now I'm lost in karaokeland (similar to never never land) forever.

Oh, BTW...Good Morning. Even though it is nighttime now. So Goodnight!

ohhhhh this thread reminds me:

When I was in Jamaica, I bought some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee! That stuff is SOOO flippin good!! That was over 8 years ago, but I've only ever found JBM ONCE since! ONCE!!! and it was at this store where the stock changes all the time, so it's not like they carry it regularily..... I gotta get me some more of that! Anyone tried it?

methinks I'm gonna have to order it online

well maybe for a dip in the pool   they have a nude side and prude side.

I don't even want to think about being without coffee Babs.  That is a really nasty situation.  It's important !  I'm already feeling headachy just reading this

ok skip the pool

For awhile it was considered the best - at least until that version that comes from that small critter became fashionable. You know what I mean right?

Anyway, yeah Jamaican Blue Mountain - while in Jamaica must be incredible! I would love to drink it fresh there. When I was in Kona, Hawaii I would sit outside my hotel and there was a coffee kiosk that had very fresh Kona. Normally I hadn't been much of a Kona fan, but it was SO good there. Course it always helps looking at palm trees and watching the surf on the beach while you drink it.

If I were you I would order some green Jamaican Blue Mountain and roast it myself. It isn't that hard to do and you will absolutely love it. It can't get any fresher. The good thing is you can order quite a bit of green beans and they stay fresh for a long time. When you are ready to drink some you just roast enough for a week or two at a time. Roasting is fairly quick and easy.

You can roast in a pan in a gas oven, or on the stove in a pot (probably should be modified). You can also use some old style popcorn poppers or air popcorn poppers. My fav has been the air popcorn popper.

Just talking about this is making me want to roast again. Glad you brought it up. I will have to try and remember to do this.

Here's a link for some green beans I found. There are many sources on the net:

Let me know if you want to know more. I can point you to a quick reference book about roasting, and some equipment choices. As I recall this approach is cheaper than buying already roasted coffee, but not as cheap as the Costco deal.

Every Costco I've been to has that. I've only been to Costcos in three states but those states are Michigan, Texas and California.

I thought about suggesting that yesterday but too many people think you always get what you pay for. They never think about the fact that they may be overpaying for what they are currently getting.

We get the Costa Rican French Roast. The savings on good coffee alone makes it worth our money to renew the Costco card every year. The brand name is Seattle Mountain Coffee.

YES!! The cat poop coffee!! ! ewww!



oohh thanks for the roasting idea!! Never thought of doin' it myself! I could do some for my mom-inlaw too cuz she loves the stuff! Shanks!
