Coffee News - Price Tag Issue
Well, we will be doing "it" soon...yep, we will be reducing the size of our second in line to 12 ozs soon. We resisted, and we resisted but we have been thrown under the bus by increasing green coffee prices...not to mention the high cost of shipping! This means that all you good folks, at least the ones that drink 12 cups of coffee each morning, will come up one pot short with each bag. Of course if you drink any other coffee, you know this feeling too, too well already...but I still feel badly about this. I feel soooo bad that if you come on over to the farm, I will make a pot and we will sit and talk...what do you say?
The pound bag will still hold a pound of good ol' The Alpaca Bean Coffee...that way you will actually GAIN a pot of coffee over the old 14 oz jobber. Things are starting to look up...don't you think? But still...I will stop what I am doing and brew up a FULL pot if I see the whites of your eyes and the longing look they are bound to have with this happening!
Like I have stated before...it already is hard to find a full pound of coffee in the grocery any more...much less a bag that holds 14 ozs! Well...enough meally mouthing...it is what it is, you know?
We will offer containers with the following weights: one pound, twelve ozs, eight ozs, and 2 ozs (for offices and such). The prices will increase on a minor scale with the 12 oz bag taking on the 14 oz bag price. The Pound bag will be somewhere around the $9.75 price that you may be accustomed to and the eight oz bag will now be $5.20.
If and when the green coffee market dictates a reduction in the cost of the imported bean...you will be the first to know! Yep, we will reflect that good news in our prices as well !!!!!
Now for the good news for you folks that like to "press" your coffee...we will specially grind your coffee for you at the coarse level. Now you make sure you are gonna' use this coffee in a coffee press, cause if you do the drip thing with this press coffee...well, it will taste about one step above dish water! :o) Our regular grind works fantastic in the metal and paper filter drip coffee makers...a method that this ol' guy will stick with, to tell you the truth now...but hey, if you are into pressing and you do not want to grind your own, then let us know! We will do it with a smile...and with wonder in our hearts...maybe we ought to drop in on you some day for some of this "press coffee" so that we can get that wonder out in the open...what do you think?
Just one last question, "Does it taste like that muddy water coffee we use to make on our camping trips?" JUST KIDDING !!!
'Til next time...
