Mmm, having my second 16 oz. cup of coffee. A friend recommended Lavazza, but for a long time I didn't see any of that brand that was organic, and the non-organic was about 30 percent higher in price than the same weight package of an organic brand.
Then I found it, Lavazza "Tierra", organic, and only one dollar more than the Whole Foods brand organic. Gawd, friend was right.

I don't think I've ever seen their coffee in my stores, apart from the pods. I'll have to look more closely. Just checked on their website, I would have to say they really don't seem that expensive in relationship to most quality brands. 12oz for $12 isn't crazy. Better prices on whole bean, 2.2lbs for $22, but then you need a good grinder which takes up space and has to be cleaned. And a cheap blade grinder doesn't work well for your brewing methods.
Well I wouldn't pay the 12.00 for 12 oz, but the comparison I made isn't quite precise, but close.
I paid 9.36 for the 10.5 oz package of Lavazza ground. That compares to previous organic varieties I've bought since I started making my own teabag coffees:
8.99 for 12 oz Whole Foods 365
8.79 for 12 oz Nica's at HEB
Looking on Amazon just now I see you can get six of the 10.5 oz packages ground Lavazza organic "Tierra" for 46.36, which comes down to 7.73 per package. I may do that, and see if it stays fresh long enough to use it up. I would think, left sealed, it would.
I saw a 24 oz package of ground organic, 365 brand with a different label than the other 365, 13.98. That's pretty good, but I don't know what "Vienna roast" means. I don't like dark roasts. They taste burnt. I guess it's for me to find out what vienna roast means.
But 37 cents more for 2.5 oz less than the Whole Foods or the Nica's brand, seems close enough, to keep having the Lavazza, if the price holds.
And if you look at the price of the Folgers singles coffee bags I used to use, you can see the organic ground coffee is positively a BARGAIN. Those teabag single serve coffees are up to 5.49 for total net weight 3 oz. (19 servings). I never paid attention before.

I love a beautiful romantic bolero. It's easy for two people to dance close with this kind of music.
My good thing for today is being here with everybody!
That and turning 35
Imagine that, I only have to turn 35 twice more before my son catches up with me, and four more times till my daughter does.
I'm enjoying the good thing of today Kad, your 35th
But if you can excuse me for a little while, my bottom is getting numb from sitting in this desk chair, so I'm taking a little break. I'll be back soon.
Can't believe it's already after 5. Hope our other playmates will be gathering soon.
And KCups are even worse. Last comparison I saw was a few years back, but the average price of KCups back then worked out to something in the area of $50 per pound of coffee.
Not sure this is a legit match but I see Tu in your song's title, so

I am pretty sure it's 400 degrees and about 10 to 12 min. and yes I used parchment paper too
A friend of mine's wife buys high dollar coffee, not organic but just high dollar, for special occasions, like week days, she thinks nothing of spendin 120.00 a pound and it doesn't taste that good IMO
Wow did I miss a lot, had to help Jean take a shower. I have to get in with her and hold her hose and drain bag so it doesn't tear her stitches out. then she wanted somethin to eat and is on a special soft diet so I made her a bowl of mashed taders.
We missed you too Jimi, but glad all is stable at home for upcoming surgery.
And you're here now.

Based on a game of finishing the sentence.
Ya mama don't wear no drawers. I saw her hang 'em on the line, and then the sun refused to shine.
Ya mama don't wear no drawers. She threw 'em up on the fence, ain't no birds been back there since.

I just drink an organic coffee we get at the health food store, tastes good to me but I like strong coffee, if the spoon stands on it's own I'm good.
I like coffee strong too. If it makes me hallucinate, I'm good.
I feel bad Ninjain you on your birthday
Ninja likes to come to all the parties.
When I was a kid my parents had to hide the can of coffee cause I would get up in the middle of the night and eat 2/3 of the coffee in the can
Almost got me again with Your mama don't dance
Pretty sure Ninja gets a special invitation.
But would sneak in even without it.

Are you kidding? You ate ground coffee? And you didn't blast off and fly away?
Well it does taste good. They make those chocolate covered espresso beans, and they're delicious. A couple of those are a great mid afternoon pick-me-up.
Yup I have a VERY STRANGE life story (that's why I am so odd) that someday I will share but just with family. I used to be bouncin off the walls as a kid.
It sure does, I love all coffee and mocha flavored candies, can't have em anymore though.
Dance of the mocassins

Gah!
What that worked off the word of
No match. It was to follow "I wanna dance with somebody", but then "Whenever I call you friend" posted like a ninja. Mine was "dance of the mocassins". Would have matched the Whitney Houston, no match to the Stevie Nicks.
It's okay though. I'm not sitting in the corner crying. When Ninja is playing, it means enough people are playing to give Ninja the power.
