This is funny you have Bloomberg here who are left of Lenin and 100% in the tank for Democrats beating their “inflation!” drum … meanwhile the whole “inflation!” meme is being used by the GOP to try to kill any Democrats fiscal initiatives…. Hey the GOP thanks you Bloomberg hypocrite morons!

I called a coffee roaster yesterday to ask if he had unroasted coffee beans for sale. He says that he's willing to sell me a kilo of beans for $90. $90 a kilo for Columbian green beans! What the hell -- for $90 I can get 4 kilos of roasted Columbian coffee, or a couple of kilos of the real McCoy Ethiopian coffee.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I'm wondering if my politeness over the phone might not have given him the impression that I was an idiot :(
Call Juan Valdez and go directly to the source…,
ReplyDeleteCan't. Mr. Valdez died in 2019. He was only 83 :(
Deletethen try Juan Morbere maybe?
ReplyDeleteMaxwell House could be your 'go to' guy...
ReplyDeleteFor real coffee connoisseurs, there is civet coffee.
ReplyDeleteKopi luwak is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). It is also called civet coffee. The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected. Asian palm civets are increasingly caught in the wild and traded for this purpose.

As an aside, I have a Tassimo coffee maker which I was using to make Americanos. One day I got tired of cleaning it, replacing water filters, etc., so I picked up a jar of Nescafe Gold Espresso instant coffee with crema. I found out that the instant coffee tasted just as good as the coffee I was getting from the machine. So, I packed up the machine and reclaimed some kitchen counter space.
