Funny article in the current Onion entitled:
"Where The F**k Is Diane With My Fair-Trade Coffee?"http://www.onion.com/opinion/index.php?issueCaution: contains lots of Cheney-esque language!
Phil (slowly de-lurking)

I've been semi-lurking and reading most every post daily since January.
I've wanted to order so many of the coffees I read about and today as I
was surfing around the SM site I couldn't decide what to do.  So...I
ordered the sampler and will let Tom decide.  I figure since I'm still
very new at this I'll stand a better chance of finding something new
that fits my tastes... then order more.  However, the way you folks
describe some of the coffees I don't know if I can live without them...
A big thanks to Mike McKoffee.. My wife is still raving about the Kona.
She was in a meeting last week with a travel mug of Kona XF that I made
in the press.  Someone seated next to her said "I don't like coffee but
I want what you have".  My, my, my it is good!

That's what my daughter has done and has had good luck with the samplers.
Also, Daddy sends samples too.
