I am no expert, but I've been trying the varieties availlable at Cost
Plus World Market. So far, I've found Guatemallen and Colombian.
Sumatra is allright. Kenyan I find horrible - tastes like daylabor
sweat. I don't remember what my opinion of Costa Riccan was. All
sell for $5.99 US for a 12 oz bag (whole beans)

Am I the only one who prefers the 2 tablespoons per 6 oz cup stuff?

Also, I'm sure I'm the only one without the ridiculous American
disdain for sweetener and dairy in coffee. You can drink black
coffee. You can also eat bread without butter, ice cream without
chocolate sauce, hot dogs without ketchup (er, mustard) and pasta
without grated cheese. But don't be so smuggly superior towards
others who opt for a food's natural condiments.

Although I do drink my teas neat.
