coffee at Trader Joes - Fritz - 04-17-2024
if you're near one and like coffee, TJ currently has a run of Ethiopian Guji that is "light to medium" roasted.
It's closer to medium and it's rather nice.
$10/12z I think.
The bag splits when 1st opened though, so you'll need another storage container.

What other coffees do you like, so I can gauge your taste?
Re: coffee at Trader Joes - mrbigstuff - 04-18-2024
thanks, I'm willing to try on your rec for 10 smackers. I'm a big fan of African coffee in general, although one can find some real clunkers, on occasion.

also only African. Mostly Ethiopian and always medium, single origin, no blends.
Most times I stray to try something that sounds what I'd like, I'm disappointed.
I have a bag of Timor now that is just meh.
My friends who were traders on the coffee exchange before they became roasters, faired better for me with some of their South & Central American singles.
But Ethiopian kicks them all, every time.
I only drink black unless it's espresso or capp.
But unlike the Euros, I will drink a capp after 11a.
Screw 'em.
I did like Vietnamese when I was there, but I have a feeling I wouldn't care for it now.
Did I pass?
I did recently order from Twiga in Sacramento.
Normally I wouldn't order that far from home because of shipping time and handling. But both Ethiopians I bought from them were very good.

Wegman's house brand is what I've been drinking.
$16 for a 40 ounce bag of whole beans.
Medium roast.
100% Arabica

Folgers, but only after sitting on the burner for a few hours.
Like drinking from a dirty ashtray.
You don't know what you're missing.
