This is one of the coffees that I am anticipating to try. There is a co-op there which is expecting an 07 harvest. The country from 91-2002 was in civil war.

I'm deeply troubled by the things in uganda. If you don't know much about what is going on there. I suggest you research it. check out ugandacan.org or invisiblechildren.com. Its probably top on my list. As far as conflict areas. The 1st time I heard about it, something just hit home. I...
my cup of choice when I venture to a coffee shop in the morning is usually a shot in the dark. I haven't been to a coffee shop in many months. I've been french pressing at home a lot. So I wen't to the new coffee house in town and ordered a shot in the dark. This was my 1st time there. They...

Espresso
Is your shop small, aveage, or large?

How long should a shop keep their coffee in a press pot?
I am not a fan of a press pots. I think coffee is not given justice when served lesser than fresh. But it seems in general theese days old Joe is not given justice.
I guess its the increase of fraps or caps has decreased the sell of...
Saturday is a coffee day definately.
Even though I work tomorrow I should be able to wake a bit earlier and enjoy a cup as I do most saturdays. I'd rather have 1 great cup than a whole pot of substandard sludge.
There is a coffee shop here that i'm waiting for. It was announced that it...

Why can't or doesn't coffee grow in the lower 48 states?

Would the heat source (gas, electric, fire) change the roasted taste of a bean?
I'm planning to buy/build a roaster and experiment at home sometime down the road, and I was curious about that. I'm not sure How I feel about an electric roaster. It seems as it wouldn' taste as good.

So what in your opinion is the top grocery store coffee? Meaning coffee that doesn't have to be specially ordered and avail at most stores.

I'd say at the top is community coffee (which can be...
There ain't much better than a great shot of espresso
Something that is usually overlooked and underappreciated,
I've also been known to drive for good espresso, since the town I live in doesn't have any
also one time wrote a little poem / song about it
Mmm espresso
that dark dank mystery in...
