Deals on Kona, Jamaica Blue Mtn . . if you can get to the right Costco. Worth it?
Here's what I found out, though I don't think it's the whole story because I was first told Irvine would be on the agenda. The confirmed date and location closest to L.A. is Oxnard . . . so maybe if you're heading to the outlets for Black Friday anyway; not sure a trip in and of itself is worth it: http://bit.ly/5MveLT

I've tried Costco's in-house stuff and was not a fan at all. Luckily, they were classy enough to give a refund when I expressed my dissatisfaction

Will do -- my contact at the company said he'd give me further info in a couple days, when he's back in the office. I'll post it here if he gets back to me. thanks much!

thanks! This is from a roaster in Santa Barbara, Caribbean, who I am well familiar with and like a lot -- but I always get mid-priced blends (house blend or the cuban roast).

Just found out that a roaster (Caribbean Coffee) is on a Costco roadshow selling Jamaican Blue Mountain for $38/lb (versus $50) and 100% Kona for about $20. This week in Santa Maria Costco, but next week (starting Thurs) in Westlake and after that supposedly other LA-proximate locations.
Of course, these beans may be lost on my palate -- is it worth the trip, generally speaking? That's still a lot of $$ for coffee, even when reduced -- guidance please?
