Don’t laugh ... Big Lots was selling Margaritaville coffee for five bucks a bag. My preference is called “State of Mind”, which is a medium dark roast. And it’s GOOD, too — Buffett has branched out into different food items, and while there have been some misses (such as his tequila), IMHO this is a major hit. I don’t think Big Lots mail-orders, but Walmart does.

Thank you Abigail Adams, I remember hearing this before but was not sure how to do this.

Careful. Some major brands, such as Maxwell House, are now blending in Robusta beans to their coffees. Robusta coffee tastes weak, with poor flavor and some people report headaches, nausea and dizziness. I just got headaches from a new batch of Maxwell House Dark Roast. To the credit of Kraft Foods/Maxwell House they refunded the cost of my bulk purchase made after they changed from “100% Arabica” to “100% coffee” in their Dark Roast coffee.

If it’s not “100% Arabica” stay away, it’s a blend. What’s worse is that Vietnam is now a major exporter of Robusta beans. And where do the Vietnamese grow the Robusta bean? In areas which are defoliated, in some cases from herbicides sprayed by the US during the war.

Arabica Fair Trade coffees usually indicate great quality coffee which is grown with less chemicals than industrial growing operations.100% coffee.

Also, I was out of town on business and the hotel I stayed in had Toulouse Coffee. I tried it and it was really, really good. Apparently, it's offered by Royal Cup.
