Ah.
Do enjoy.
What coffee is supposed to arrive on Tuesday?
For now, I am amply supplied, but, as we coffee fiends all know, and well know to our cost, coffee supplies can run out awfully quickly.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

The group monthly subscription for Hawaiian coffee is in transit. I could check online to see what it is since they post the roaster's special for the month, but I prefer to wait until it's delivered by the teenager who brings my share the last mile or so.
I'll learn what it is when it's handed to me. We'll consider the info on the label, open it up, grind some beans, brew some coffee, give it a try and discuss our reactions......and then chat about "whatever" while we finish our coffee
Because there is always a 'better' way to make coffee. You just haven't found it yet...
One of the simplest ways is the Ethiopian method.
- Boil water in saucepan
- Throw in coffee grounds and sugar (this is essential)
- Boil the bejesus out of the mix.
- Let settle and pour gently to keep the grounds in the pan.
- Drink carefully lest the top of your head remove itself.
Sounds not too unlike the method of preparation for Turkish coffee (which I have had, both in Turkey, and in the Caucasus).
This is similar to the way my older cousins made coffee during our camping trips in the mountains years ago. I was too young to be drinking coffee so I can't comment on how it tasted
Sipping (and thoroughly enjoying) a second mug of coffee (natural process, from El Salvador) with organic hot milk.
I have had coffee made for me by an Armenian gentleman, who basically said that the Turks are wimps who like their coffee far too weak.
I can well imagine that this was the view of an Armenian on the subject matter of the Turks.
Actually, I've been in both Istanbul and Yerevan - in fact, one can see Mount Ararat from any decent elevation in Yerevan - and have enjoyed coffee in both cities.
Having had both Turkish and Armenian coffees, I tend to come down on the side of the Armenians.
My local coffee roaster put me in a bit of a quandary this week: Ethiopia or Sumatra?
Because they don't have it very often it had to be Sumatra
Natural processed from the Aceh region. delicious

You're quite right; I haven't had coffee from Sumatra very often; actually, to be candid, I haven't even seen coffee from Sumatra all that often.
While I love Ethiopian coffee, I imagine that I would have ben tempted, as well, to try the coffee from Sumatra; and naturally processed at that must make it all the more interesting.
Do enjoy.
Lovely (late) Christmas gift from my son.
Wow.Lovely (late) Christmas gift from my son.
That is a serious gift, a gift that I, for one, would greatly appreciate.
And a lovely and varied selection, as well.
Do enjoy.
Currently sipping (and thoroughly enjoying) a coffee from El Salvador with organic hot milk,
I cannot think of a more thoughtful gift than a package of quality coffees beans from an assortment of distant lands.Lovely (late) Christmas gift from my son.
The last of the beans from Oahu have been turned into a cup of coffee; and only a cup, not a mug.
I hear you, and sympathise.
However, if my understanding is correct, you are currently expecting more beans to be delivered in the near future?
Have you sufficient to tide you over in the meantime?
I'm expecting more from Hawaii to arrive on Tuesday, maybe even Monday. Fortunately I'm well supplied with a couple of other coffees at the moment. I have a small amount of some Ethiopian coffee still to finish, and also some coffee from Rwanda that I received as a Christmas present.
I think I'm about to make a full mug of the Ethiopian
Ah, good.
I had feared that - while awaiting Tuesday's delivery - that you might have run the risk of running out, but had hoped that you were amply supplied until Tuesday.
Enjoy your mug of Ethiopian coffee.
Whenever that happens to me, I get a pang of depression and put on some Albert King so the blues can comfort me.
Sipping a coffee (served with organic hot milk; great in the mornings, but - at this time of year, awfully welcome at night, too) from El Salvador with organic hot milk.
