Me no likey coffee. Bleh.

But I do know a couple that has their own coffee plantation in Kona.
www.aikanekonacoffee.com/
Their coffee won some sort of award and I hear it's excellent. AND some of the coffee you may drink from them may have been handpicked by Gemini Juan Valdez Cricket himself.
'Come up to the plantation, see Kona, Brad!' they said and then I spent 6 hours helping them pick fu cking coffee beans... Pshaw! :D

Best Kona (IMO) comes from a single plantation. Makes it taste more pure, IMO.... Mmmm...

Kona...

MMMmmm....

Agreed. A foul beverage if there ever was one.

I just made a pot at home and, boy, am I a tad bit happier.

You should all come to my work this afternoon. Surely a great stop on the way to meeting Wendy & crew!

The best cup of coffee is any cup *I* don't have to drink. I can't even stand the smell of it. That was the primary reason Ryan got a French press - not as much smell as a Mr. Coffee. The fact that it apparently tastes better (new! Tastier dirt!) is just an added bonus for him.

Thanks for the quick outline. When will we get something more specific?

Honestly, it's a bit much for me at home, though for some reason it tastes just fine at work. I'm not sure why. I cut back slightly from that, and tend to make it 3 for every 12 oz of water. Don't tell them I said that.
I've discover with the French press at work, Peet's 2 tablespoon recommendation while seemingly excesive, make for the better cup of coffee - I tend to scale back a bit on the home drip machine, but for some reason less beans just takes away the body.

Wow, Erica! Thanks so much for writing all of that out. I knew this was the right place to ask. :)

Looks like I need to head over to Peet's this weekend and get started.

And for all of you that don't like coffee, what the hell is wrong with you?

;)

I must find some time this weekend to pick up a new one, or come Monday I shall be doomed
