#41My favorite was Millstone's Colombian Supremo, unfortunately, it is no longer available. After several years, I am still looking for a replacement I like as much.

#43I purchase fresh roasted coffee beans, 12 ounces at a time every two weeks. I use a larger burr grinder just before brewing. Brew with an Aeropress or a glass funnel pore-over one cup at a time. For the last year or so I have been using Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans. Makes for a good cup of joe!

You're speaking my language! Do you have a favorite roaster you get your beans from? I've been enjoying Onyx, S&W, and Calico (local).

#45Peet's Major Dickason and a French press. Excellent combination.

#46Chased,
I use one of two local coffee merchants here in Minneapolis. The Roastery(imports for wholesale business and does some roasting w/local sales) and Spyhouse(small coffee shop chain).
What kind of beans are you into besides the Ethiopian?

#48Any of you boys get really busy and totally miss out on that morning cuppa?

Don't they call that "addiction"??? Am I alone?
Geez.
Re: Grinding coffee beans
#49Oh, you have lots of company. It's so overt, my brother reports being asked if he was a coffee drinker and how much at the start of a hospital stay. Though they couldn't let him have coffee in his skimpy meals, they did provide him with his daily caffeine dose in the form of a tablet.thegubster wrote: Don't they call that "addiction"???

Re: Grinding coffee beans
#50BrownBear, I go through around 8lbs of beans per month. Mayorga is an excellent roaster, in fact this is coffee day and if you use the code COFFEE29 you get 29% off your order and orders over $25 ship free. Today I got 9 lbs, two 2 lb packs of different beans and 1 5 lbs pack.
Mayorga uses wind and solar power for their energy source and there’s no middleman since the owner works directly with the grower unless the grower uses a co-op then he and his wife work with both since they visit the farms and help with making improvements where they can to get the best yield of their beans.

#52That's very good to know! I've bookmarked their site as well as this thread. When we get settled into Florida for the winter next month, I'll be availing myself.fishnbanjo wrote:BrownBear, I go through around 8lbs of beans per month.

Good to have too, because my "new" source got pretty well whacked. Close friends moved to the big island in Hawaii and we had a salmon exchange arranged for beans from their 5 acre grove. But the volcano had things to say about our plans....

#53Whenever we’re in L.A. visiting my sister-in-law (and Flykuni) I pick up a pound of Urth Caffe Manhattan Mudd. It’s organic, smooth, dark roast and lower in acid than other coffees, which my stomach appreciates. You can order it on line.

#54Just don't use the same grinder for blending dubbing for tying your flies. Ptooey.

Re: Grinding coffee beans
#55If you know anyone in New Mexico, have them send you some Pinon (pronounced peeen yown {long O}) Coffee beans. I've been grinding my own beans since 1977. I have found that keeping the coffee beans in the freezer until you are ready to grind them, makes for a better cup of coffee. It's the oil in the coffee bean that gives you the flavor, and keeping it in the freezer, or ground coffee in an air tight jar in the fridge, keeps it from drying out. Next time you go to a coffee shop, watch how the waitresses fill up several filters with grounds and then set them set out next to the coffee maker. Ever wonder how dry the grounds get, or if the stack ever gets rotated? When I go to a coffee shop for breakfast and see that, I ask for hot tea! Another bonus is that when you grind and use gourmet coffee beans, you rarely get an acid stomach from the coffee.

#56Another Costco brand worth trying is the Kirkland Costa Rica coffee beans. It's a dark roast blend and it's REALLY GOOD! It might be our favorite coffee now. A 3 pound bag costs less than $18. Can't go wrong with that.

#58I read an article a while back that said dark roast coffee may help prevent alzheimers. Unfortunately, I can never remember to buy it when I'm at the store.
