ROTFLMAO That was funny. I've bought whole bean for 25 years. Kona, Costa Rican peaberry, and (when I'm feeling flush) Jamaican Blue Mountain are three among those that I prefer. And a Braun bean grinder - I've never found one better. I've thought about home roasting, but the cost of the equipment can be off-putting, from some of the sites I've visited. Plus, I don't think we have the counter space for one more appliance.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I can't afford Kona anymore. I use to blend 1/4 Kona with the Magnolia, because I like it and it sells well with friends and customers.

I haven't had JBM for over a decade. My contacts can't get it green anymore.

And, Hero? I use a hot air popcorn popper to roast my coffee. It goes on a shelf when it's done.

I don't waste counterspace with microwave transmitters that I can't modulate. (Read that as a microwave oven).

I can afford Tres Rios when the market is a buyers market. October/November... Or so. Depends. Gotta follow the market.

I'll roast my own and everyone else can pound sand. ;)

I aint particular, I’ll drink any lifer juice as long as it’s hot, black, and strong. My son thinks I am some kind of knuckle dragging primitive after he saw me scrape off 3 or 4 days worth of scum, reheat it and drink it down (we were out of grounds and about 80 miles from any town). That was about 27 years ago and he hasn’t changed his opinion since.
Coffee is coffee, a few floaters in it just adds protein.
