And I thought I was impressed with the brothers on here with the knowledge of cigars.  I love my coffee but now I had no idea of all of this information on my beans.  I may have been drinking lousy coffee all this time and not knowing it, but certainly enjoying it.  Guess I have some basics to learn about coffee.

As long as YOU enjoy what you're drinking that's all that matters.

The only thing I like more than an honest, enthusiastic and courteous coffee discussion is.....
HOCKEY!!

Lets go.  Taste test.  Waiting...
Personally...  I have never gotten Illy, LaVazza, Bustelo or any of the bagged stuff to perform well for me - not even half-assed decent.  However, I have many times been served espresso made with Illy or Bustelo beans that was very good.  I just haven't duplicated the good resullts with my purchases.  I figure I buy grocerystore versions in my backwater market that is probably ancient.
