My cold brew trials have continued. This time, with Stumptown's bottled offering.

Much lighter than the Chameleon, mainly because the Stumptown isn't concentrated, so me putting almond milk in this one didn't really do much justice to the flavor. Quite refreshing though!

Question for you coffee guys.
So today I was at the grocery and I was picking up some coffee, I generally buy Cuvée Coffee which is roasted here in Austin and pretty solid for daily drinking. Not crazy expensive, about 12-15 dollars a pound.
Well I saw some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee from another roaster and I was stunned at the price. 69 dollars for a pound! Is is really that great or is it purely a case of supply and demand? I've heard of the coffee before and have seen some videos discussing it and how it's cultivated, but I never knew it was so expensive.
Just curious if I'm totally off base or what.

It's like any other hobby you can go as deep as you want

I love this little thing at $.90 a shot, toolbox coffee!

@Broark At one time it was thought to be one of the best,and then you couldn't get it,kind of like the Van Winkle bourbon. I'm a coffee fanatic,and I don't think it's worth 4x as much as my current favorite. Just my two cents.–Jett

Ravens brew is excellent! We picked up some when we were in Alaska around 2006, thanks for the link.

Local Barista and my fav coffee shop said I should get a Kalita 155 Steel Wave Dripper. Ordered!

Did you get the barista's phone number? You know, in case you need some help setting it up or… something.

You can, y'know, discuss it over coffee…

I use the 185 frequently and really enjoy it. Make sure you grind fairly coarse.

Found a very local roastery today, just 190m from my door. Lets see how it tastes.
