Re: Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee - Phleeewie!

[Graywolf]

Well, I could say I told you so. You probably ignored my post about the 
variability of JBM. Last time I checked the going price was more like $65 a 
pound, so Caribou must know what they are selling is worth (floor sweepings 
maybe). I understand the really good stuff (not readily available) goes for 
about $120/#.

I personally never did think JBM was "THAT" good. It seems more like, "If it 
costs that much it must be really good". To me expensive is-not-equal-to good.

Also even the good stuff is about the opposite end of the coffee spectrum from 
the expresso types, so you may not like it anyway. I myself prefer the 
Indonesian coffees (Sumatra, Java, etc).

Phleeewie!  Neither my wife or myself could make it through a cup.

Maybe I bought the wrong one? Wrong roast?

Bob Blakely, send me your address off-list and I'll make you a present.  
Back to Starbucks Espresso blend.

Linda says it tastes like peanut shells.
