Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1517542 black, no sugar, through a french press please. Me too haha  La Colombe Corsica is my new drug. i am not big on blends and prefer a light roast but that stuff is fantastic. I prefer a light roast as well and I drink Helmut Sacher Vienna Coffee but I am willing to try La Colombe Corsica. Where I can buy it? |

Strike a deal with the farmers so they can get back to work!  (see my next reply below... it proves im not entirely heartless... concerning the plight of these people) perfect timing, i just quit coffee last week, feel great look younger, skin is healthy and glowing....fuck that coffee shit. :) but now i can say VIVA i be in solidarity my coffee picking brethren...:P |

I drink enough coffee in a year to keep 10 families in Columbia employed  Ditto. I've got 18 pounds stockpiled and buying more today. |

WHO EATS AT APPLEBEES? McDonalds has fresher food than APPLEBEES. Seriously, Applebees get a truck every night... guess what's on that truck... Rolling racks, filed with trays, filled with plates of almost everything on the menu... READY FOR THE MICROWAVE... All the kitchen does at Applebees does is re-heat the food that came in already cooked the night before. Never eat at Applebees. |

Means coffee prices are falling not rising. Doom off! Won't be falling long after the supply side dries up. They are also concerned about the prices they receive as producers. Besides, been to the store to buy coffee lately? Prices are way up. This^ Farmers protesting means that crops (in this case trees) go unattended... and care of coffee trees is a delicate and time consuming endeavor... the less time spent farming... the worse condition the farms will become... and due to last years already below average yield of coffee beans... this doesnt bode well.  _______________________  |

Actually got these beans at Costco--Kirkland Brand-- $11.00 for a 2 lb. bag. Colombia has been struggling with a fungus called leaf rust on its production for a number of years. There are other countries that have declared agricultural states of national emergency because of this same fungus. Those countries would be Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica. El Salvador and Nicaragua are also badly affected. There is a video in the following link that talks about it: Coffee Leaf 'Rust' Threatens Coffee Crop [link to on.aol.com] |

Oops, I forgot to log in. I remember doing a thread last year about tiny spider mites that became a threat to the Colombian crop. Never heard too much more about it after that. This fungus impacts trees and their ability to produce over several years. I've read that if they don't get it under control and aggressively manage it, many coffee farms will be destroyed. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |

I dump the used grounds around my tomato and pepper plants all summer long. They love it. It's full of nitrogen and it conditions the soil. Not to mention that the earthworms go gaga over the moist grounds. The worms grow plump and produce the best worm castings. I get the giant tomatoes from the castings. I'm not a coffee snob. I love Maxwell House and Folger's. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34519903 United States02/26/2013 04:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quit cigarettes Nov. 15th 2011, cold turkey. Quit coffee 2 weeks ago. Now my mission is to lose weight. I smoked and drank coffee for over 30 years... Coffee was easier to quit, but the withdrawal headaches were killer! a pack a day smoker = $2,737.50 savings each year. a 12 cup pot of coffee a day = $300.00 a year. The cost of living increase offset any "true savings" so I'm not any farther ahead financially. I really don't miss the smokes now, too early to say that with the coffee though.... |
