No, I'm not a gringo gentleman farmer. I'm Costa Rican. Although Costa Rica's very best coffee cannot be bought locally, the two premier local brands are Britt and Sunburst. I like the dark roast myself, preferably whole bean (need to grind the bean at the last possible moment). Greg likes french coffee, which is quite dark. One thing to remember the what makes good coffee is the BLEND and roasting process. Here, the Germans/Italians are the experts. Most good blends are a mix of robusta beans, which provide the deep "kick" and arabica beans which provide the aroma. Costa Rica mainly produces arabica bean, so the drip coffee made here is quite mellow and easy to drink without sugar, but lacks that deep kick provided by the European blends. Greg- I'm I off topic for this thread? Ylang Ylangs- I love these trees and have some in my yard. Did you know you make Channel No. 5 from the flower extract of this tree? Saludos, and next time you come to Costa Rica let me know. Pedro experts
