I brew my own Kona coffee every morning. 
No, but I might be able to ask around if you have no success.stosh said:

Would this be the same company that has coffee shops on the west coast? If so I take it that their beans are better than what they served in the stores. I went there a few times and was treated to *in a snooty voice* "a fine coffee with an overburned aroma and notes vaguely similar to dog arse." Perhaps it was the employees leaving the pots on too long or something...worse than Charbucks.SuzyCreamcheese said:
I'm heading to Phoenix tomorrow and one of the things I'm looking forward to most is my friend Tom's coffee. I don't know where he gets his beans, but he roasts everything himself and I was blown away last time I visited. The difference is amazing...like snowboarding powder vs. ice.
mmmm powder.
Damn you guys, this was definitely the wrong year to quit drinking coffee.
What would ever possess you to quit drinking coffee?reflux said:

Peet's coffee RULES!!! 
Drinking my daily cup of Peet's right now
anyone ever get the Chris King coffee?
it's good, and the canister is a good storage option for other beans when you run out.

probably because he thinks it tastes better with honey.

Anyone watch the Lance Cronnicles?
They show how Lance gets 5lbs of Peets delivered to him in Europe every month. Major Dickens blend!
This due from Giro rolls up with all these new helmets and stuff, and Lance is like "Yeah, but did you bring the most important thing?"
and the dude whips out this five lb bag of Peets. Lance opens it up and burries his face in it.
So THAT is how he won all those Tours!!
I personally like the Arabian Mocha Sanani
i'm more addicted to chocolate chip cookies at coffee shops than their dreaded caffienated concoctions.
A physical biochemist working someplace that does coffee sales? Or, just what could physical biochemist imply? Aha, I see, I think...SuzyCreamcheese said:
Must admit although Peets is one of my favorite coffee, this summer I had the chance of savoring 100% pure Kona Coffee. Kuma, DW, John P., me + a bunch of other friends went to Whistler for a week and Kuma brought some from Hawaii. THAT had to be the best coffee Ive ever had.
No, we don't sell coffee. In attempt to keep employees wired and working long hours, the company provides coffee for all of us. Our only choice had been a foul Starbucks offering, a bag of floor sweepings I think. Now we have Peet's, which, for a preground bagged industrial coffee, ain't bad. My company also feeds us breakfast and an afternoon snack (pizza on Toosdays and Toisdays, desserty items Mondays and Wednesdays). Not bad.johnbryanpeters said:A physical biochemist working someplace that does coffee sales? Or, just what could physical biochemist imply? Aha, I see, I think...
Physical biochemist means that I research our protein based therapeutics using physical chemistry methods such as spectroscopy and ultracentrifugation.

Ah. I understand. Our company drug happens to be provided by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. I sure would like it if we had brekkers and afternoon food here.
I fell in love with Kona coffee when we were on our Hawaiian honeymoon in 2001. Damn that's good stuff. I found it again in a grocery store near my house a couple months ago. It's more expensive and you get less than every other brand, but it's worth it.Acadian said:
BTW, I can't stand Green Mountain coffee.
Coffee makes me sick.
Really? What don't you like about it? I don't find it bitter or foul tasting at all. Maybe you had a bad blend / flavor?I Are Baboon said:
It's the taste and texture I don't like, plus I feel it leaves a bad aftertaste. Saying "I can't stand it" is probably a bit much though. I actually can stand it, but it's just not my favorite. It's the only coffee served in our cafeteria at work, so I drink it if I must. I have tried a bunch of different flavors (Lake and Lodge, Breakfast Blend, etc).berkshire_rider said:Really?

BTW, take Monday off and ride with me and Splat.
I would love to take Monday off, but I have only been working here since December 6th, and I have a week off in March.
Try some French Roast, or if you are into flavors, Southern Pecan, or Blueberry. Breakfast blend is a little weak.

Doesn't Peets have a 100% Kona offering?
never checked? I'll look into it.-BB- said:
From what Kuma told me, 100% Kona coffee (not the blends) are super expensive!!
$25-30 a pound depending on where you get it from, that's online at least. Then you gotta add priority shipping so it doesn't take weeks to get here. I'm still dying to me some though, if I have to pay $35-40 to get it here I'll try it just once because I have to see what everyone is raving about.Acadian said:
When I went to Kona one of the things I did was tour a few of the coffee plants. While I don't really like the taste of coffee, the smell had me continuously drooling. They also had free samples, so if your into coffee next time you go to Hawaii (hah) make sure to give some of the coffee factorys there a little of your time.
