In my town they sell it in vacuum sealed bricks and the can. They used to sell it in almost brown paper bag material. That aroma leaking through the bag drove sales, but after a short while, that coffee was very stale. My family drank Bustelo all of the time. I grew up on it. Great memories.

Mark....this is a colador (aka "the sock").




You put the desired amount of coffee in it, hold it over your cup, then pour hot water in it and let it drip in the cup. Then add 6 sugars...LOL.

Jamaican BM. Wow, just plain wow. This is even from a light roast (used the wrong program on the Behmor). Can't wait to see what it tastes like with a slightly darker roast.

Every morning I enjoy a few cups of Cafe Duran. As can be seen by my screen name. I may be obvious what I do. I love my cigars but I live for the bean.

Currently have eight types of coffee. From cafe Duran to green label geisha. Six methods to brew. Many say I make the best coffee in Panama. But I would not go that far. I make it with love. Not love of a profit.

about to go to my favorite coffee shop and drink this.....awesome coffee....hope my cut and past from their website does not offend anyone
KILENSO
ETHIOPIA

One of the smallest villages in the Borena Hagermariam District is Kilenso Mokonissa. The village is home to 50 thousand people who grow this coffee using organic practices but currently lack organic certification. Usually this coffee is blended and sold under the name “Ardi”. After talking with our importer we had this lot separated and sorted. 40 bags of coffee were selected and put into grain pro bags at origin. The exporter decided to enter the coffee into the annual Ethiopia Taste Of Harvest Competition where it took 2nd place honors this year. We are excited and humbled to have the opportunity to roast and brew this coffee.

PRODUCER: Kilenso Mokonissa Cooperative
LOCATION: Borena Hagermariam, Sidama [map]
VARIETAL: Heirloom
ALTITUDE: 1750 – 1800 Meters
PROCESSING: Natural
TASTE NOTES: Berry / Chocolate / Melon

Yes, the sock! My In-laws retired in Costa Rica in a small town named Samra, which is located on the West coast on the Pacific ocean. My mother in-law used the sock too in preparing some very delicious Tico coffees during our three week stay at that period in time.

Since I'm the only coffee drinker in the family, I use a Melita One cupper with a #2 brown filter. Been doing so since 1984. In fact, I still make coffee from that original One cupper. When I want to drink something other than "black" coffee, I use the following recipe: 2 tsp of Turbinado sugar in a 10-12oz coffee cup, 4 tablespoons of Cafe Bustelo in the #2 filter, pour hot water gently into filter and fill the cup up about 50-60% with fresh coffee, stir until the Turbinado dissolves in the coffee, and pour in some half n half until almost about 1/3" from the top, stir gently and enjoy

I really enjoy the marrying of the Bustelo, Turbinado, and Half n Half. The Turbinado lends a carmelized flavor to the combination

One of these fine days, I'll have to get with the program and attempt to make some Cuban coffee...
