You can find them for twice the price on ebay and that still comes out to something like $8 a bag before shipping and tax. I posted about them elsewhere and have no qualms from an ethical standpoint buying them, despite the low price tag and the easy availability. They are certified fair trade and that's good enough for me. picked these up from the Aldi. what a steal i just need a bigger grinder - something that can do a whole bag all at once. anyone have any recommendations? |

Last night I had a fever that topped out at 103.7* By this morning I was quite a bit better but I took the day off work to chill at home and rest. For the first time I can remember in probably 15 years I went the day without coffee. |

Just picked up a bag of Allegro beans from the Whole Foods, Columbian single origin or something like that. I may be biased as a Philadelphia nationalist but I do like La Colombe. For my birthday last year my MIL got me one of those coffee subscription things and it was phenomenal, though I couldn't justify the $26 per bag. |

For me 12 oz lasts about two weeks, and at $26 a pop I might as well just go down the street and have someone else make it for me. |

Why are you grinding a whole bag? |

If that's your situation, you're probably going to save money and time by buying ground beans. |

yes but there's much better selection in whole bean |
