I lived in Milwaukee. Guys would make treks across The Big Muddy to buy that cruddy Coors. They’d organize and take orders for a couple weeks. I couldn’t stand the stuff, and stuck to Rolling Rock most of the time.

As someone appreciating top-shelf whiskies AND is a coffee snob, I’d like to give this cup a try. GOOD coffee, brewed right, is an experience quite superior to regular swill. If it’s hard to grow, shipped fast, roasted right, and brewed right, the price certainly could add up to $15/cup.

Any chance it’s available as green beans? I’d rather roast it myself.

Yes there was. Something about “a cat crapping coffee beans”, I think.

People are so stupid. They buy an expensive cup of coffee then put it in a paper cup.


Or mix something like Johnnie Walker with Coke or Pepsi.

Yes, Civet Cat coffee. The critters pick & eat the most perfectly ripe fruit, and the bean survives the...trip thru the digestive tract, where it gets a bonus treatment by some enzyme to improve it. Ridiculously expensive, something like $150/lb for the beans. Upside is the extremely picky selection of individual fruits; downside is obviously the literal sh!t it has to go thru in the process.

I’d like to try it out of curiosity but seriously, I’m very thankful that I’m satisfied with whatever is on sale. Dunkin Donuts is is the best coffee I’ve tasted so far.

Why would this coffee be any more special than Jamaica Blue Mountain?

Costco coffee is the best.

But not at that time. I remember being at the airport carousel and case after case of Coors would come down . It looked like a beer distributorship at times. Then Coors started shipping east of the Mississippi and the thrill was gone

Saini said when it comes to Finca Sophia, you get what you pay for.

If it's being compared to "top shelf whiskey" then it's a bold faced lie......You don't get no buzz and ugly women still look the same.

I remember the Coors phenomenon, back in the 1970’s. People here in the Mid-atlantic were treating the stuff like it was expensive champagne when it first started showing up in bars.

But the Dunkin D cups and covers are thin and cheap. don’t take them in your car unless you want to burn yourself.

Unhuh. Maybe that was because you never had real beer like they make in Europe. Thrill? The taste left before the beer left the brewery ...

Never have liked European beer. Pretty much the only beer I’ll drink is Miller Lite...Bud Light in a pinch.
