My office in Harahan, on the east bank of Jefferson Parish, was just about a block away from where they roasted their beans...On the days the dark roast went down my eyes almost watered.
I keep thinking I should mix up our local with some other stuff. But it turns out that a) our local is pretty good, b) it's really cheap, and c) while I enjoy a really good cup, it turns out that as long as I have one I don't really get on to chasing down something else.
I do have a need to fix my supply when south of the border. The inconsistent roast/poor packaging/miserable handling really kills it down there. As noted, I'm not really a connoisseur in any manner, but the base blend there is pretty bad. There are a couple of gringos doing craft roasting, but they are charging Seattle prices (or more!) in the Baja, and that's just not right.

Dang, that's where I left my cup...I've just been putting my head under the coffee maker but it is starting to turn my chin a little brown from the overflow. .
Hello. My name is westslope and I LOVE coffee. Especially the high caffeine, light-roasted Colombian coffee.
Well, I went through this past week without drinking any coffee or tea in the morning. On two occasions I had a cup of black tea in the mid afternoon. I broke down and had one weaker cup of coffee Saturday morning, yesterday.
I feel great and am happy not to have to visit the damn bathroom so bloody often. Within 48 hours, the coffee withdrawal effects were gone.
I hope to continue the love affair with coffee but on a once-in-a-while, occasional, recreational basis or if in the middle of a long, grueling road trip.
My office in Harahan, in the lovely 70123, was just up the road from where Community's roaster is. Every once in a while they would burn the beans and it was hard to breathe for a bit. Very potent beans for sure.

That's fun. My mom used to have a little pot of drip Community on the stove most of the day. She collected the coupons from the bags and sometimes we'd go to the Community place and redeem them for stuff like cookware. For me, it's symbolic of poor south Louisiana - like Jim Beam was to me.
Now, those brands have managed to not only maintain, but thrive and develop their own cachet.
