Bobby, There's a guy down the road that will take your just picked cherries, husk, and roast them. He gives you half back roasted to his preference. Then he sells his half for $35 a lb.
That's a rip. Picking the cherries is the hard part. All by hand.
Coffee came to Hawaii in the 1850's. Most of the stock came from Guatamala. The best coffee is grown above 3000 ft and under shade. It also grows wild in the gulches, but it's packed too close together to bear well.
Scrappy....Coffee will grow anywhere there is no frost. It'll grow in garbage soil, even lava rock.
Since I made the last post in this thread, this year's crop has been harvested, and we had a good rain that kicked the plants into flower. Coffee will only flower after it rains. This year I have 10 more trees starting to bloom.
I'm running low already. This year I'd like to grow enough to keep myself all year and have enough for Christmas gifts.
And I'm slurping down another cup as I type.
That's awesome.
this is a damn fine cup of java.......
They had a show on PBS that had a segment where they were grafting kona to grape vine in Hawaii, have you heard about this, OH?
time to start sippin' on this Americano.......
no half & half in the store so I had to grab
some straight heavy cream for my coffee,
it sure didn't take much to lighten it though.
Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world. At my local specialty coffee bean store, it sells for $420 per pound—or $10 for a 10 oz. brewed cup
Kopi Luwak is very different from that cheap, gauche coffee you and I drink every day. This is because each hand-harvested bean of Kopi Luwak has been artisanally shat out of the digestive system of a small Indonesian pseudo-cat.
An old mix I love is 60% Colombian Supremo and 40% Kona. Peace GS

I recently had the misfortune of stopping by La Barista in Detroit Lakes MN, had to be one of the worst cups of coffee I've ever had, it was a depth charge (2 shots espresso in a cup of coffee) of regular non-flavored coffee that was bitter and bad/odd tasting.
I only know of one member from that area and hope he sees this post.
damn that was a great pot o' joe.......

Sumatra in a french press does the trick for me.

Just roasted a nice Costa Rican Finca Salaca Las Brisas...Oh yeah.
taylors of harrigate lazy sunday beans,, best tasting coffee ive had..
i can drink any coffee as long as its irished up. yup add whiskey
I love a good cup of Joe.. Im not into it as much as I was 5 years ago. I had everything. Roasted my own beans. Made my own blends..It was a hobby 
.. Now I just buy good ground coffee. I dont have the time to do all that anymore..I might get me a bean grinder again. This is the best way to get fresh beans into your cup..Kopi Luwak may be the most expensive but my taste buds don t like it. I will let you guys drink that

For me nothing compares to a good coffee brewed in Moka Express (see pic below). I think the taste is superior to anything else. Moka Express is also portable and you can take it anywhere.
that's all I ever use, makes the finest cup of coffee every time.......
Italian Roast (dark) Expresso, a drop in my half and half..keeps my up all day and night..
Now, I use, Italian Roast Expresso from Fresh and Easy: pre-ground
Made in a Mr. Coffee Expresso machine. I quit grinding, a few years ago.
Just love a good cup of coffee. Can't take the caffiene anymore,
with auto-immune disease.
Starbucks, was nice. Just can't see the price. sumatra, during the holidays, is pretty good, as well.
