I think the funniest part is that Sumatra is very close, in geographical proximity, to Indonesia:). Honestly, I think Sumatra is in Indonesia.

You think right! ;-)

You're pretty damn close to spamming there, Mr. Ho.

But you DO have good coffee....

More than right. Sumatra is the largest island in the world and makes up MOST of Indonesia. I don't recall being impressed by the coffee, though.

Let me correct and slap myself. I was talking and typing, which I probably shouldn't do. Sumatra is the SIXTH largest island in the world, hardly the largest. It's the largest island in Indonesia, which is what I meant to say.

I think Jamaican Blue Mountain is the best, but who can afford it?

I got rid of a previous coffee maker because of the poor taste of the coffee it made. Eventually I used a swimming pool test kit to test the water and found it was so full of chlorine that I wouldn't even want to swim in it. I went to distilled water and it soved the problem. I now use a Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker. Its makes the best coffee. I switch between the flavored coffees and Columbian Supreme. The Cuisinart first grinds the beans and the grounds fall into a funnel with filter paper, the water is heated and drops through the coffee. One simple operation. I prefer the paper filter as the gold filter allows to many grains to fall through.

cream is for kids and other activities

Ouch! Whittards have Sumatra Blue Lingtong for £6.70 for 500g.

The Jamaica Blue Mountain *is* a tad pricey, at £10.20 for 125g One of my favourites is Elephant Ear, which is rather seasonal... I like my coffee medium roast but brewed strong enough to creosote a fence!

Chuckling I don't know about sweeping of the feathers but I will enjoy the Smatran! Sumatran Manderling is my favorite. Its, Harst, Dark, and perfect for someone who was raised on Air Force (US) style stength coffee. My folks didn't grind there own, it was 8 O'Clock all the time but I found the joy of freshly ground coffee beens on my own and got me a grinder.

Sumatra is the largest Indonesioan Island and I'm with you and the Jamaican Blue Mountain, the last time I priced it, two years ago, it was going $30 a 1/2 pound, way way way out of my range.

My first exposure to coffee was 'Navy' coffee and that was enough to put me off coffee for another 5 or so years (i was such an innocent i did not know enough to put milk and sugar in the cup) till i moved to Berkeley, and a friend bought me a 'bianco' at the cafe med.

As for instant coffee i will take a cup of 'Medalia de Oro' instant esspreso and enjoy it, but most instant coffee isn't worth drinking IMO.

I have to say that is one of the funniest descriptions of coffee I have ever read! Creosote a fence... LOL!
