I agree moderation. I drink one to two cups per day, which I think
is fine. It's such a pleasure. If I did feel it was making me feel
unwell or really cutting my energy, I would cut back.

I have a tough time drinking starbucks, I feel a little silly ordering
"talls," etc. It's so packaged too, so it's partly a response to
overmarketing on my part.

Kona is so expensive, and I would think most people wouldn't be able to
tell the difference between a $8/lb good coffee and the kona (I'm sure
some would, but I bet most wouldn't). In fact, just recently Starbucks
got in trouble for selling a cheaper coffee as Kona for $21/lb.

It's an Eastern brand, headquarters in Maryland, distribution mainly
east of the Mississippi. Biggest mass marketer of coffee in the US. It
was the house brand of A&P since 1859; with the demise of A&P, it is
now independent. Occupies pretty much the same market in the East that
Folger's does in the West. "Bokar" (for Bogota-Cartagena) is a famous
characteristic blend of theirs.

All the 8 O'Clock connoisseurs I know who have come West have
converted quickly and willingly to Folger's, not that Folger's is much
of an improvement.

Hey, we just bought some of that yesterday! I'm not a coffee drinker though
so if it's junk, I wouldn't know it.

I don't think you need to worry about it. Some people prefer coffee, others
prefer tea. Tea is served almost everywhere that coffee is. Even
Starbuck's offers tea.
A good friend of mine never started drinking coffee, either. His drink of
choice is beer, though.

That was a number of years ago--1996 when a local Kona Coffee company
(Kona Kai) was caught substituting Costa Rican for 100% Kona. I
happened to be president of the Kona Coffee Council at the time and it
was a big deal. That lawsuit in the cited article was a result of the
Kona Kai scam.

I think in the last 8 years since that scam, people have asked and
received really good Kona. People generally know what good 100% Kona
should taste like and they are not just buying the cache of Kona.

If you are only drinking 2 cups of coffee each morning, one pound of
coffee will make about 32 cups. If you compare a package of 100%
Kona, selling for $16.50/pound as our Smithfarms<g>does, you are only
paying $.52 for each yummy cup. With shipping (which is such a
variable depending on how much one orders) it can be as costly as
$.70 per cup of freshly roasted mellow yummy delicious coffee.We all
make daily decisions on how to spend our money, so it is up to you.

Wow, what could be better than sitting in Hawaii with a cup of Kona
coffee?? Here in NY it can cost $1.00 for a cup of the cheapest canned
sat on the shelf for who knows how long then sat in a pot for 3 hours
coffee. So, until I try Smith Farms Kona, I'll take back my words that
most people can't tell the difference.... ;-)

Well, there are many more fun things to do in NY. We are farmers who
enjoy the farming lifestyle and we just happen to farm Kona coffee.
It's our whole life.

Yes ordering straight from the farmer should get you a superior
product at a great price. We grow it, Bob roasts it and we package
and send it. Not any middle men.

I drink it every morning and have for years. I've never had a store-bought
pre-ground coffee that even comes close though I think some CDM and Union
fans might feel differently.

You're entitled to like what you like, as there is no accounting for
taste, but being somewhat experienced with coffee... (I own a bagel and
coffee shop and sell it all day long.)

Folgers is about the worst quality money can buy.

No insult intended, but Folgers is about equal to the meat at
McDonald's. It starts out with lousy quality, and by the time you get
it, it's far too old.

In short, Folger's uses the cheapest beans available, roasts and grinds
them and by the time they get put into a can or bag, they are way stale.
Coffee goes stale faster than bread.

If you really like coffee, go to alt.coffee and read a bit. Ask about a
decent coffee shop in your area.

Or do this... go to an actual coffee shop. Buy one half pound of fresh
beans (try Columbian Supremo for starters) and tell the clerk what kind
of coffee maker you have. They will grind the beans accordingly. Go
home and make a pot of coffee. Make at least six cups. Then drink and
see what real fresh coffee tastes like.

I grind my beans myself so they are totally fresh. I often roast my
beans too. (Yes, you can buy them green. Lots of people do.)

So, my point is... if you like coffee a lot, then you can enjoy far far
greater tastes than you now have. You need to explore.

Worry is too strong a word. I'm so oblivious socially that I never
worry about what other people think of me. I was just musing on the way
coffee as a ritual has become a part of the culture. Tea isn't my drink
of choice. I only got used to it because it is better than coffee.
Deep down in my heart of hearts, I like to drink milk after a big
restaurant meal and orange juice for something sweet at mid day.


Admiting that is like admiting that I don't really want the fine wines
and good scotch. I just drink them when I'm out because I'm embarrassed
to order what I really want-- fizzy ice cream drinks with long funny
names that taste like girl scout cookies or wedding cakes.

I'm not familiar with the 8:00 brand.

However, I DO prefer French Roast over regular. I also
prefer either African (an African blend is fine) or
Indonesian (I love Sulawesi) beans... Columbian beans don't
have enough character for me.

Thanks for the information.... geeze, IMO Folgers is a step
down when it comes to coffee. Not sure why they'd convert
so easily.
