I'm using my new Capresso conical burr coffee grinder and my 35 year old Italian Vev stainless steel stove-top mocha machine to make ~12oz cups of brew. I measure and grind 0.40 ounces at a time.
I just opened up my last bag of Costco-bought San Francisco Bay Organic Rainforest Blend (3lb bag). I have not stepped into an indoor space since middle March, when I last visited my local Costco (Richmond, CA). I have been wrestling with the idea of going there in a week or so. Yeah, I'm "at risk." The confirmed case rates in this area are the worst it's been. Local counties are on the CA state watch list, mine just added 1-2 days ago. The daily CC rate for my county (Alameda) are 3x what they were ~2 months ago (142 just reported).
I could go to the Richmond Costco (Contra Costa County, whose CC rate is also swelling) and stock up on a ton of stuff, but I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't, maybe won't. I'd want to do some research somehow. Find out about over 60's hours, when the store is thinly occupied, stuff like that.
If I don't go, I'm thinking... where will I get more coffee?
I would like delicious coffee, of course, but want bang for the buck. I'm not really into the roast... i.e. dark, medium, maybe I'm just not sophisticated in that aspect. I've bought and enjoyed both over the years. My shopper at Berkeley Bowl bought me a couple 2lb bags of organic whole bean and they branded it Berkeley Bowl IIRC, but I thought the Costco was better, it was also cheaper.
Ideas? Thanks!
