Not-even-a-real-review: Starbucks Sumatra

That's a great story. I can't wait for my wife to read this. She love SBUX (stock name). They take care of their employees. Sadly, management at this particular location is currently a crock.

 

Doesn't get any more local than roasting your own. I prefer African beans with Kenya my favorite.

 

Preach it!

 

Kenya +1

 

I found that I really enjoyed Sumatra.
This weekend I'll be picking up a pound of Kenya or Komodo depending on what they may have in stock to try out them as well

 

Ooo oooo! Kenya! Komodo! Kati Kati is promotional right now and is delicious as well!

 

Interesting - Kati Kati is a mix of Ethiopian and Kenyan beans.
Hmmmm....now I'm tempted to get that if they have it

 

If they don't let me know

 

If you don't get Kati Kati get Komodo.

 

If you don't get Kati Kati get Komodo and Kenya

 

Peets coffee=Dfc,major Dickerson is really good but peets sumatra is Evan better. Take care

 

Is Seattle or SanFransico the coffee meca of the west coast?

 

[Sits back with some popcorn]

 

I like a good sumatra, but I'm the only one in my household who does…so it rarely gets served.

 

Seattle was, but I'm going to say Portland is. SF gets the leftovers...

 

I believe the question was simply rhetorical.
It's quite obvious that SF is the mecca of anything food and coffee related

 

Does any one have an Aunt or grandparent who put butter in their coffee or " saucerd

I always thought SF had much more of a international feeling and more refinement than Seattle however I also believe Seattle is just starting to grow up and loose their logging and coal mining
Past.

 

No but my dad put some vodka in his coffee and referred to it as a 'devil in the coffee'.

Butter in coffee is a big thing these days and supposedly have a lot of health benefits.
The most well known is probably Bulletproof coffee. Here's an article about the benefits and usage: Article

Here's another more general article about the latest trend about butter in coffee: Article 2

Personally I haven't tried it.

 

Says the guy who created a thread to review Starbucks Sumatra, and usually has a pic of Verona blend as his avatar....

I've heard of butter in coffee, but not for me. I'm starting a new trend: Coconut sugar in coffee. If you've ever tried dark sugar in coffee and loved it, this is like 1000x better.

 

The wife and I are both diabetic so coconut sugar is a staple in our house we put non-dairy sweet creamets in our coffee that adds just enough sweet into our coffee,I agree coconut sugar is very good for baking.
