What kind of coffee do you drink? Whatever is available, sometimes known as “whatevrsthare”? Only the best? Have you clicked through the Boca Java ads which seem to be everywhere nowadays? Or you gambled on the link from your favorite lit-blog and bought something through Chattanooga’s own Rarecoffee.com?
For me, I have Maxwell House at the office, but don’t drink much of it. I sip it regularly and throw out most of my cup. The most coffee I drink comes from home where I grow it in my backyard and roast in my kitchen. Yep. And have you heard that too much coffee makes you an irresponsible liar prone to poor judgment? It’s true! The Nobel Peace Prize judges are well-known for their high coffee consumption.
Anyway, I’m currently drinking something organic from Sumatra which I bought at the Fresh Market. What are you drinking? Or if you’d rather, what would you prefer to be drinking?
Maxwell House is of the devil.
I’m an everyday Folgers gal myself – brewed so strong a spoon will stand up in it. Not that I need a spoon cause I drink it black.
And I love Starbucks Cafe Verona, Sumatra, and Gold Coast…
We get ours (or, rather, I get mine as I am the only one here who drinks it) shipped in from a roaster in Albany, GA called Cafe Campesino. It’s priced right there with all the locally available coffee I can find, including shipping, and it tastes great. Plus, I get a little package in the mail every few weeks, which makes it like Christmas. I’m easily entertained……

In my house we lust for Kona. Can’t afford pure Kona but occasionally someone who loves us will give us a pound. We’ve bought many Kona “blends” … required by law to have at least 10% real Kona. HA! Some lie. When our standard of living improves, we shall drink Kona every day. In the meantime, I rotate between H.E.B.’s store brand (a Texas grocery store chain) and Folger’s. Once I bought a Mexican estate coffee named “Tres Pluma Oros” that was amazing, but I’ve never found it again. Sigh.
I think I’ve had a Kona blend before, but I don’t remember it. I’ve never had Kona itself or the other rarity, Jamaica Blue Mountain. I don’t care to spend $50 on a pound of coffee.
I wonder if Hawaiians drink Kona regularly.
