In reply to the discussion: What's your favorite brand of coffee, or do you stay away from caffeine? [View all]SeattleVet
(5,598 posts)77. Side note: For several years all I drank was Kona Peaberry. We stocked up every time we went to Hawai'i.
After our first trip when I discovered this magical substance we stopped by a friend's place to drop off some orchid plants. I waited in the car, and my wife came back out to see if I wanted to join them for a cup of coffee. OK...went in, and as I raised the cup to my mouth and got the first bit of aroma I said, "Oh, Kona!". My wife looked at the friend and said, "I told you he'd know." They had also recently returned from trip to the Big Island.
Our freezer held a lot of sealed bags, but the price has gotten so out of hand (last time I checked, my favorite Ferrari Kona Peaberry was something like $70/12 oz.) that I haven't had any in.a few years.

Do you mean NO caffeine too? (no tea, soft drinks, energy drinks, caffeine tablets, chocolate or OTHER stimulants?)

Drink the cheapest K-cups I can find, usually shipped. Keep thinking of going back to grinding beans.

I used to buy Peet's French Roast from Mr Peet himself in Berkeley (mid 70s -- he accepted food stamps!)

Buy almost all my coffee at Costco...either Starbucks of Kirkland French Roast, whichever is on sale.
