Amazon usually has it at about $14.54/30 oz. bag. Columbian Peaks is the one. The other variations are OK, we just like that one the best.

Nice to see how many of you also like Eight O' Clock. It's been my favorite for years.

That grinder and the original cezve were bought in Turkey about forty years ago; didn't cost me much at all. The original cezve's tinning eventually wore thin, so I ordered on amazon for the one pictured, a Demmex for about $35.00!

I'm a coffee addict. A pot and a half in the morning, a pot in the afternoon and another in the evening. When I was working I had a cup of coffee within reach throughout the shift.

Pretty involved, but check out James Hoffman on YouTube for an excellent moka pot technique. Using a paper filter from an aeropress makes a nice cup. The Aeropress makes a nice smooth coffee too, but neither is as strong as Turkish.
My favorite beans are Mayorga organic Cuban roast from Costco. Dark, rich and reasonably priced.
No expert here.
Have about a quart of cold* coffee every morning, 2/3 Trader Joe's French Roast, 1/3 Maxwell House original, brewed in a French press. There is surely something better, but I haven't discovered it yet. I'm not complaining.
*Aftermath of diabetes, and waking up thirsty. The diabetes is under control, but I still usually prefer something cold in the morning.

I prefer my as black as midnight on a moonless night with no additives. Death Wish, Kahawa 1893 and the dark roast Black Rifle coffees are my favorites.

I hope you are never in a situation where you cannot drink coffee for a few days because of surgery or something. You have set yourself up for some MAJOR caffeine withdrawal symptoms.
I have tried many times over the years to develop a taste for coffee, but I just can't do it without doctoring it up with creamer and sugar to where it looks like hot chocolate. Too bitter!

I have had to refrain from coffee for routine colonoscopies and I did not have any real issues. Actually I need to make a appointment for another since it's been at least 5 years so I will let ya know.
My day starts with a mug of coffee and two slices of buttered toast with raw honey. It is most enjoyable.
Those 12 ounces of java must trip my float switch as I have no desire for a second cup at any time during the day.
4 bits per day covers my coffee needs.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned chicory. I don't think it's available everywhere but there is plenty of it in S.Ms. and La. I prefer French Market coffee and chicory from Louisiana. I have found Rouse's (a family owned super market chain with store's mostly in the southern parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama) brand coffee and chicory on sale for $3.00 for a 13 oz. bag. I bought 12 bags of it last week and already had four bags left over from the last sale. Most other brands of coffee in 13 oz. bags are $5-8.00, or more, a bag. Chicory has a history. During the Civil War Yankee occupation of New Orleans coffee was mostly unobtainable. A similar drink was made with chicory, which was later mixed with coffee when it became available again. It was mostly a New Orleans thing but it is still around and still very good. I limit myself to no more than three cups a day. Our esteemed member Cajun Lawyer also enjoys coffee and chicory.
Dad picked up a habit of adding salt to his coffee grounds prior to perculating it when he served in Korea. Said it cuts down the bitterness of the brewed coffee. I never drank any coffee they had in Korea, but I did pick up his habit and still shake a tad of salt in mine. (just because I reckon LOL!)
Right now we are drinking Krogers Breakfast Blend (arabic) and enjoy it every morning. Dad drank coffee all day long, I pretty much just have two cups every morning.

We add a shake of salt to our pot also. It seems to work very well.
Well it has to be dark roast to start with. If I'm lucky some real Blue Mountain will show up as a Xmas gift but every day is Dark Sumatra to get started and throughout the day.
