Lots of places to buy excellent coffee beans online.
Been very pleased with http://www.kilicoffeeroasters.com/ for Kenya beans.
Costs just 2 dollars/pound more, delivered, than purchased at Starbucks.
Best coffee I ever had was from Venezuela. They never grew it for export. It was only available from small farms. I got some from a college exchange student whose father grew it.
Got any ideas for a substitute for Via instant?
