    When do you come out with the St. Montini and Wojtyla the Great versions?
    .

    The Wojtyla version is flavored with the cow dung that The Deuce had smeared on his forehead.

    Unfortunately I gave up coffee for Advent, so I'm going to have to wait until Christmas morning to sample that one! :laugh1:

    No offense, but why did you use the name “papist”? Protestants use that word as a derogatory term against Roman Catholics.
    I thought the same.  

    I think the idea is fantastic and I would certainly try it, but those prices seem over the top.  If I'm looking at the same size bag, even Dunkin coffee is more than 1/2 the price.

    I think that the prices are reasonable given that they roast the coffee when you place the order, so it's going to be really fresh.  It's just a question of whether people are willing/able to pay the extra.  Some people have no problems paying $5-$7 for a SINGLE CUP of "Starbucks" or other coffees.  I guess it depends on how serious you are about good coffee ... vs. just wanting to knock back anything with caffeine in it (even if it tastes rather like motor oil).  It's the same reason that some people are OK with a $7 bottle of wine, and others buy wines that cost hundreds of dollars per bottle, with the former just caring about the alcohol (provided the taste isn't horrible), the latter caring about the aroma, flavor, etc.  If the $7 bottle tastes terrible, someone might go with the $10-$15 bottle.  Or those who are really serious about it might be willing to pay 10x that.

    • Is it organic?  No offense here either, but I would never pay those prices for toxic coffee.  It is well known that conventional coffee is among the most heavily chemically treated foods in the world.  

    "Coffee is the number one pesticide sprayed crop in the world."  

    "It is steeped in synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides."  

    "The chemicals that are sprayed on coffee are not only acutely toxic; some of them may also cause cancer. One of the most common herbicides used on Brazilian coffee plantations is glyphosate, which is sold under the brand name Roundup and used around the world as a weed killer."

    I pay less than this for organic coffee.  I can't drink conventional coffee because of the health effects from all the chemicals.

    It's tongue and cheek of course. You see it being used this way frequently on entries in the Catholic Encyclopedia as well. Those who use it as an insult are ironically flattering Catholics in categorizing us by the doctrine of Papal supremacy, something which every Catholic should be eternally proud of and comforted by. It would be akin to being called a monotheist with the intention of it being insulting. :cowboy:

    What Ladislaus responded could not really be said any better. All our coffee is specialty grade, which means we don't use commodity grade beans like what you get at Starbucks or anything found at grocery stores in general. All the stuff they use are miscellaneous beans with no clear source or practice guidelines. They are also roasted by big contractors in other countries en masse while all our coffee is roasted to order and shipped the same day.

    I believe coffee is very much like wine, where you have a tremendous following and appreciation for the ideal quality.

    Much of our coffee is indeed organic certified, but we have not bought in on the program with the FDA so we cannot label it as such on our bags. Rest assured that all our coffee is sourced from independent farms and co-ops that have fair trade practices and responsible farming methods. Something to note is that the label "organic" is by and large a badge which companies simply buy into with money. For example, we know of small scale co-op farms in Peru that have some of the best responsible and natural farming methods and consideration for toxic chemicals. They go above and beyond the bare minimum that the FDA organic certification requires, yet because they did not pay for the certification, which is a hefty amount for a Peruvian co-op, their coffee cannot legally be called organic.

    Thanks!  Good to know.  And yes, I know of other food sources with the same thing, where they can't officially label it "organic", but for all intents & purposes, it is essentially organic.
