My Mom really likes Bob Marley I wonder if she would like his son's coffee?

coffee? yeah, right!

sprinkle some on to the rolling paper, mon, and wake up and smoke the coffee.

is this kosher?

Wait a minute .... aren't you the one to ask if it is kosher?

Anyone know if this is whole bean or ground? Would love to see more reviews... hard to tell if this is more than just an elaborate licensing arrangement, since it seems from their Web site that most of the coffee isn't grown in Jamaica, despite the location of the farm there.

I hope this is top notch, no middies here.

Anybody know what 'Ethically Grown' means?

is that just the new marketing word for 'fair-trade' with out the expensive certification process?

It's whole bean, per the website.

45 bucks on coffee... 99cents at the Holiday gas station... lol.. im a college student.. as much as I love coffee, just cant afford this, as much as I really wanna!

As far as I know, all non-flavored coffee do not need hashgacha.

I would not call that a neutral review. It read more like an advertisement.

I'm a college student as well (and kinda nerdy). 45 bucks for 5 12oz(0.75lb) of coffee is 3.75lb. And at 30 cups per pound(which is very strong) you'd have over 100 cups. And at $50 with shipping thats about $0.45 a cup, plus a CD. Gotta love the math, eh?

will this hold til christmas (and beyond)?

Better math - 45 bucks + 5 bucks shipping divide by 5 12ozs of coffee equals .83 per ozs or 13.28 bucks per pound. Still pricey. good coffee though... love math more......

That's the exact same computation I did. But I then converted to dollars/cup to compare to his $0.99/CUP not lb.

Coulda used some of this during the last woot-off.

Eh, I don't want to be all snobby here, but it IS wine.woot.

I work in specialty coffee, and coffee is really only good for about 10 days after it is roasted. Starbucks and places will tell you otherwise, but if you are ever looking for quality coffee, DEMAND roast dates.

Granted, if you are just looking for a cup to wake you up in the morning, it doesn't really matter (light roast has more caffeine though)...But don't buy this coffee if you are looking for a truly good coffee.

For really good coffee, order from Stumptown, Intelligensia, Ritual, Gimme, 49th Parallel...Those are some of the top roasters in the country, they ship the day it is roasted, so it is fresh.

Honestly I'd be more likely to pay $10/bag of coffee for "________" coffee than for anything branded "Ziggy don't give a Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) Marley" scaffolding.
I've even been looking for some good coffee lately, but no chance I'm gonna be brewin' some dreads in the 'morn.
NEXT!!!

Get it from the store for about the same price and for an extra $22 you can get the T-shirt:

I don't see anywhere where any of these coffees are listed as Jamaica Blue Mountain, which would make me want to jump on this offer.

I'm pretty sure you can get equivalent blends from your local gourmet coffee outfit.

Regular @ $11.99 x 4
Decaf @ $8.99 x 1
CD @ $10.99 x 1
Total: $67.94

Woot Savings: $22.95

And you are not going to get less than $5 shipping on all of that so in reality you save even more.

Though I'm not in the business, I've been interested in good coffee long enough to know the importance of freshness - both after roasting and (of course) grinding (with a burr grinder for the fastidious).

For 30 years or so, I drank a light roast Jamaica Blue Mountain almost exclusively, but it's become prohibitively expensive and my provider (I was buying a regular wholesale order and fencing it to friends to get the benefit of the savings....) darkened the roast a few years ago when customer demand shifted to darker roasts. For a while, they custom roasted lighter for me, but eventually they said it wasn't cost effective anymore.... sigh. I miss the monthly shipments. I think that if coffee is vacuum packed and kept cool, you can go almost a month before flavor loss is significant, as long (as you suggest) it's shipped the day (or the day after...) it's roasted. My supplier used to ship the day after.

Hey! That's my line.

FYI, both coffee and tea do not need a hekture unless there is flavor added. As far as I can tell, the beans are just roasted differently. I will ask a rabbi on the bus this morning and I will post later.

Edit: This coffee might not have hashgacha, but it is kosher without it. The roasting has no effect on kashrus.

How good is this deal?

Nothing like a non-wine offering to bring out the complaining and prejudice it seems. Maybe someone will reveal that this coffee is Bio Dynamic and we'll really have a party.

In any case, click the link about for full discount details, and all the usual details (the ones that still apply, anyway).

Is this Fair Trade coffee?

i, for one, would be in for 3 if this were voodoodoodoo coffee. totally. i could then brew it in a pot with my secret stash of voodoodoodoo wine to increase its voodoodoodooness. i could then sip this stimulant-depressant voodoodoodoo power combo while dancing naked in my backyard at the next new moon (*). i could - wait, the possibilities are endless! :P

(*) yeah, i know, it's the full moon that's called for, but then my neighbors could actually see me, and i don't want to give anyone a heartattack / get arrested.

Do you smoke this coffee or drink it? Good price if you smoke it not a steller deal if you drink it.

I thought I would let someone else have the chance on this one.

Plus, you're on wine woot, where we regularly pay premium dollar for fermented grape juice ; )

Or you could just buy Kopi Luwak and add the voodoo separately!

I went to HS with Rohan. Now he's pushing coffee on woot. Wow! Would have never guessed it.

Live in Chicago now, and personally, see no reason to buy anything other than Intelligentsia or Metropolis.
