I shouldn't have said "most" rather than "many". I'll stand by what I
said, though.

If you make your coffee sufficiently strong, there is not much to
differentiate Jamaica Blue Mountain from Folgers. When you make your
coffee so strong, taking care to properly maintain the coffee maker,
carafe, and grinder is essentially lost effort. You might as well get that
over-roasted Starbucks stuff.

I make my coffee strong, but not so strong that I lose the fine nuances of
taste and aroma. Why else would I pay $40 a pound for my coffee, if not
for the taste. Why lose that?
