You can buy it on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140852 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 14:32:13 +0000 Emsmems 1140852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm, if you ARE leaning toward Kona coffee, check out lehuulafarms.com We went to this coffee farm while on our honeymoon in Kona, it is a guy who does this as his retirement hobby and it is cheaper for the quality than other Kona coffees!! So good, now I want some! </p> <p>It's online, and if you buy 5 bags, it's free shipping, so you could get a few Xmas presents out of the way if you wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140641 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 13:19:35 +0000 keiki_mama 1140641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love Illy's &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140575 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:58:14 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1140575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stumptown hair bender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140547 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:48:31 +0000 nana87 1140547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmmmm blue bottle coffee for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140404 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:04:58 +0000 cascademom 1140404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: They're not K-cups, but Brevia I think is the brand name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140369 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:53:35 +0000 MrsBrewer 1140369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Wow I didn't know they made K-Cups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140364 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:52:57 +0000 cascademom 1140364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yeah, it's just fascinating to see it go from a Milwaukee institution to a global thing with the name. At my work, we have a version of K-cups that have Alterra. I always have to remind myself that's not the Alterra I know, but the brand named stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140354 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:49:50 +0000 MrsBrewer 1140354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I know me too! I live in Milwaukee, so that all we heard about on the news for like a week when that happened! LOL! (we have a lot to talk about here.....) I guess Alterra is going national/global....but it was important to the company to stay local, so it's almost like they created Colectivo for that purpose. It's all the same Alterra stuff, just a different name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140334 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:44:25 +0000 cascademom 1140334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I love Alterra or whatever it is now! I had no idea that they sold the name until I got the email about the name change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140287 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:32:37 +0000 Ms.Badger 1140287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second looking for a local shop that does their own roasting. I love buying local from independent shops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140270 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:27:01 +0000 Happygal 1140270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a local coffee shop? There's one here where they roast beans in-house and take their coffee very seriously! It could be nice to talk to someone who could help create a little sampler. People really vary in what they like--I prefer a light roast (usually look for breakfast blends), but my husband loves the smoky, rich ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140257 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:23:52 +0000 sheskrafty 1140257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>La Colombe!<br /> <a href="http://www.lacolombe.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lacolombe.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140225 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:14:57 +0000 MrsBrewer 1140225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Colectivo!!!! :-) (still not used to the new name yet though..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140222 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:13:39 +0000 cascademom 1140222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://shop.colectivocoffee.com/pages/coffee/" rel="nofollow">http://shop.colectivocoffee.com/pages/coffee/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.darkmattercoffee.com/general-coffee.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.darkmattercoffee.com/general-coffee.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://gaslightcoffeeroasters.com/collections/all" rel="nofollow">http://gaslightcoffeeroasters.com/collections/all</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bridgeportcoffeecompany.com/shop-now" rel="nofollow">http://www.bridgeportcoffeecompany.com/shop-now</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/products/coffee" rel="nofollow">http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/products/coffee</a></p> <p>We've got a ton of great Chicago/Midwest coffee places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140214 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:10:13 +0000 bunnylove08 1140214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love blue bottle but its a little pricey if you can't get it from the store. </p> <p>Peets coffee and Oren's Daily Roast is really good.

When I worked at a cupcake shop in Indiana, when we started offering coffee/espresso we did a LOT of shopping around and chose to go with them. It's pricier I believe, but delicious.</p> <p>I also love Hubbard and Cravens, which I think is an Indiana brand.</p> <p>ETA links:</p> <p><a href="http://www.metropoliscoffee.com/shop/" rel="nofollow">http://www.metropoliscoffee.com/shop/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.hubbardandcravens.com/shop/shop/coffee/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hubbardandcravens.com/shop/shop/coffee/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/serious-cup-o-java#post-1140187 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:04:00 +0000 dagret 1140187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I have really liked all the Grounds for Change coffee i've tried.
