OK, I went a little crazy on the ordering, but the free shipping offers don't come around very often. This is good coffee, and I go through a pound every two to three weeks. I make cold-drip coffee and drink anywhere from one to three cups a day of coffee concentrate mixed with hot milk (or sometimes iced). No, I'm not one of those pot-a-day types. Anyhoo, shipping was free, and I got a bulk discount, so this lot was $5 a pound.
$5 = 1 (one!) super-dooper Starbucks latte.
You do the math.
You are the crazy. :)

ReplyDeleteIt's OK, Kitt, I have 300 pounds of flour (various and assorted) sitting sealed in my garage right now waiting for the delayed delivery of my storage units.
ReplyDeleteI recently was re-introduced to French press coffee. Have you tried it at home? It will change your coffee-drinking habits. Next time you're looking at those wonderfully useless items in the kitchen dept of your favorite store, treat yourself to a French press. And then report back.
ReplyDeleteSure you do, Kitt! A lot!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with your math. And if coffee futures suddenly skyrocket, you'll be sitting pretty. I pay almost $10 a pound for our coffee; if I could save 50% and get free shipping, I'd stock up too. Do you store yours in the freezer?
ReplyDeleteLike a fox, aaron!
ReplyDeleteDG, I ordered 10 pounds in May and ran out more than a month ago, so it's not as crazy as you and Aaron might think.
Alecto, that doesn't surprise me, considering the amount of baking you do! A page from CG's book, eh?
Pam, I drank French-press coffee for years and agree, it's tasty stuff! But I like the cold-press even more. Lower acidity and super-convenient, especially since I use hot milk as the base instead of water.
Blue, I guess it's obvious ;-)
Betts, I would, but the freezer's full! This stuff is vacuum-packed, though, and is good for a year if I don't open it.
That is remarkable. I would have jumped on that too!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're sure to get all your housework done in record time now. Cold drip eh? I'll have to run that past Jim but I doubt he could ever part with his Chemex.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of coffee!
ReplyDeleteHaving been a Community coffee user for 50 plus years, my day must start with CC. Even when I travel that reserve pack goes with me.
ReplyDeletecoffee should not be kept in freezer.
