Actually, I did see that post but I didn't realize it was yours. It seemed to contradict your first post so I assumed it was from someone else. Sorry if I took your first post the wrong way. It did kinda seem like you were equating expensive with good tasting. My apologies if that wasn't your intention.

np man and you can overspend to impress..plenty of very good cheap coffees out there

So I bought it. And it compared to like Folgers. Now excuse me, I need to go calculate my fuel mileage.

LOL...now that's funny. Yeah, the problem with Blue Mountain is that the name has become popular as a "premium" coffee. As a result, there are tons of counterfit and sub-quality versions on the market. Always look for 100% certified (even though that can be faked too). Another good indication will be the price. The real stuff is currently in the $40 per pound range. You paid $2.40 per pound? How's the mileage?

yep that is a blend..and the japanese love Blue MTN and buy up sooo much it drives the price up
