I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it once you brewed a pot. This is one coffee as well as any Hawaiian/Konas, so I guess two coffees, that I have never tried.

Strange tasting cup of coffee... First couple of cups at home black. Took the traveler with a splash of skim and half package of Sugar in the Raw. Still not sure how I feel about it.

Main reason I bought it was that it was cheaper than 8:00 if purchased at Costco. It's only marginally good coffee, IMO.

The Jamaican Blue Moutain Coffee that is sold at Costco is not the same coffee as the one that is sold in Jamaica if that is what you are talking about. I have bought the Costco Brand of the Jamaican Blue Mountain as well and it's pretty good coffee...certainly better than most store brands or even Starbucks. If you have ever had the "real" Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee it is light years better. Everytime the wife and I travel to the Carribean I bring back 2 or 3 packages of their coffee just like when we travel to Hawaii we buy the Lion Brand Kona coffees. I'm getting just as bad with the coffee as I am with cigars. I bet I have over 20 different coffees packaged and frozen in my deep freeze in the garage ( 8 ounce packages) that last for 3-4 days and you'd swear it was as fresh as the day it was packaged.

If it's cheaper than 8 o'clock, it ain't real Blue Mountain. The real stuff comes from Wallenford Estate and costs in the realm of 50 bucks a pound.
