this morning i am drinking hot coffee

for some reason, my customary beverage (instant coffee with water/milk/ice) didn't seem desirable.

anybody know where i can get some good free range/conflict free beans?

i think i want to be a coffee snob again.

2. you know

with the right preparation methods, upscale/expensive coffee can be ethereal.

3. Equal Exchange is great stuff. And, if you're a Costco member,

the Kirkland Signature Brand is the best coffee you can get for the price (roughly $10 for a 2# bag), and it's Fair Trade, too.
