Coffee

[Zen_seeker]

just placed an order with lardera.. got something i never tried before..

Bourbon washed is a washed Peruvian coffee crafted with care by farmer Miguel Sánchez Roncal from the Andino region. This is a rich, heavy body and a beautifully balanced cup. Rich notes of chocolate and sweet graham cracker lead the way, complemented by soft hints of ripe fruit that add depth and complexity. The result is a smooth, satisfying brew with a pleasant, lingering finish.

also grabbed french roast and caturra washed on sale. $3.75 for shipping! no ship gouging going there thats foe show!! got enough points now for free shipping next time.

they change stock and sales often so i'll cherry pick a sweet sale for the free shipping.

I used to order coffee online in the mid 2000. Now I only get what I can find locally. $15 a bag is about our limit. Dark roast seems to be our preference.

my local choices for beans is terrible. everything is ground.. i'd have to go to a different store. my choices are my local store which is like five minutes from my house. there are two more of those exact same stores within 20 minutes and the next closest of a different brand is over 30 minutes each way. and i drive really fast!!! the gas prices alone make it not worth it for me.

i paid lardera like three something for shipping.. comes out of jersey.. got my coffee today already!!!! there is no way on the planet my 18 mpg car can drive an hour and me taking up time to go to another store and get coffee for $11 a pound,,, i really like to support local bizz every chance i get but some things they just make it impossible to afford..

the bourbon washed was everything i was hoping it would be... it's my new fav!!!!! haha



got three pounds so i won't need to go looking anytime soon!!!!

freshly roasted too... i wonder how long those bags i get from amazon sit around??

We drive in a circle each week or two hitting 4-6 different grocery store chains. My wife has a system.

I have horrible luck buying online going back to CPUs on eBay in the 90’s. Everything from damaged to not what was advertised.

Do what works for you. I buy local more for being able to inspect items and I hate waiting. Plus returns are at my leisure. If my online experience ever improves I’ll use it more often.

Nice! The Kicking Horse just shows the best before date.

Now that springs almost here I’ll be drinking less. I need to pick up one more bag of Kick Ass before the sales dry up.

All the good sales are gone for now. They had a bunch of ground beans for $9.99 a bag so we grabbed one of our favourites but that’s it, Kick Ass.

I need a boost today…

oh no way i ain't doing that.. one store is good enough, if they don't have it then oh well. i mean there are special cases and all but for the most part nah, my local store is five minutes away.

She goes to the furthest first, maybe 15 minutes or less. Then we stop off on the way back.

She gets the meat and higher quality stuff on sale at two stores like Loblaws, and ONLY stuff on sale. Then the rest are for stuff she wants that’s on sale at the cheaper stores like No Frills.

Sometimes. Usually by smell. But I find you get more grinding yourself and it keeps fresh much longer while bean. I fall in/out of love with coffee so it’s got to keep well until I feel like it again. Wife and son rarely make fresh coffee since getting the pod coffee maker. I don’t like the taste from the pod coffee even after trying different brands.

oh thats not bad at all man... for some reason i was thinking you were driving all over kingdom come, if thats all it takes to make her happy with shopping then hell yeah!!

if we gotta go to a different store my woman gets cranky.. the traffic, the people.. she's like can you drop me off at home and go yourself? hahaha

.

i'm gonna have to finish off that bag of smart ass. only good thing is our bags are a lot smaller.. you get pounds. they sell em to us in 10oz. same price and all though!! bastards!!!
but the bags don't reseal so it's gonna go stale if i don't drink it. hahaha

j/k it won't go stale... i normally stash my day to day beans in an old tiny size folgers container. seals great and easy to use.. one scoop and i'm good to go!!



so i mixed em up.. made some french smart ass!!! ooooo wee wee!!!
