Just ordered 10# of coffee from amazon. 31¢/oz. I might order another 10#, maybe more. I have ~20# squirreled away already, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing with coffee prices.

Edit:
I guess I won't buy more. I went back, and it was labeled quantity limit met for this seller :^D Oh well. I'll troll amazon, and see if there's any other good deals.

edit2:
I was just laying in bed thinking about it, and I bought 20# coffee, not 10. A "single" item was 2*2# bags, and I got 5 of them; 10 bags altogether. Math is hard :^D

A week at Cancun for group of 7. I only grew up in a subtropical island and lived 15 min away from the beach :rolleyes:

We'll be down there for 10-nights over T-Day doing the all inclusive relaxation vacation. 3-nights in PDC then 7 more in Puerto Morelos.

I'll be subsisting on Don Julio, Tecate, and Jungle Bird's made with Havana Club 7.

If you need an escape from the Hotel Zone head to El Estadio for great nachos, live music and fantastic beer!

Just bought an angle grinder and I'm looking at an all-in-one welder. I don't need anything amazing, but it would be nice to be able to start out with some simple welds and move up to TIG should the need arise.

What style of beans do you get? I made the mistake of buying a Gesha once and it spoiled me.
I usually just order a few different single-origin whole beans; typically arabica and medium-roast.

And as much as I like the more expensive coffees as a treat (eg, Jamaican Blue Mountain, Hawaiian Kona), on an every day basis, I can't tell enough of a difference vs the cheaper single origin ones to make those worth it for my normal purchases.
