Posted by carriebaby on 2008-04-22 03:09:16 Post Subject: My search for Jamaican Blue lead me into business...
A couple of weeks ago, I was searching through google to find coffee shops in my area of chicagoland that sold jamaican blue mountain coffee. What I found through various keyword searches was nothing more than a series of sites offering generalized ''white pages'' listings, even though more than 500 coffee shops appeared in the listings.
I simply couldn''t find many website addresses beyond starbucks, caribou, gloria jeans, etc. Gloria''s shops, although I''m sure are wonderful, sell their jamaican blue mt. for more than $50 lb.
I was bereft and yearning for my cup of sweet island pleasure like you wouldn''t believe. As a part time income, I make squidoo.com pages. I had already ordered a shipment of my precious cargo online, and the shipment was delayed - where could I buy some near my home?
I wasn''t going to call 500 shops on the phone to find it... frustrated, I decided to create one page websites for coffee houses, shops, roasters, anyone needing a webpage.
I think I might just celebrate and offer a free page to the coffee shop that Does sell the beans near my house!
Incidentally, the only place that I could locate a facsimile was Trader Joe''s and their ''jamaican blue'' coffee was akin to drinking chaff...
Anyway, if you''re a business seeking a one page website, created by a crackerjack marketing team, please consider Pizzaz Design - we''ve just launched, and our introductory price is astounding. http://www.squidoo.com/business-sample

Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, I feel is among the best in the world. Yes it is expensive though. If cost is a factor and it always seems to be a factor than try Baba Budan coffee which is grown in India and has fabulous nutty walnut flavor.
You can also get a FREE 2oz. sample pack with your order to see if another gourmet coffee choice might even be better since taste is so based upon individual tastes. This is done as a holiday gift to you from TopGourmetCoffee.

$40 a half pound is a little extreme wouldn't you think especially when you can get Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee for around $44.99 a pound or 22.95 a half pound at TopGourmetCoffee.
I have always found and truly believe that authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee pretty much beats out most other coffees around the world. We all have different tastes though and that what makes the world go around I suppose.
If you ae going to buy quality authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee for the taste and quality it still makes sense to buy it at a reasonable price though.

I am very intimidated by looking at these posts since I have no idea what is good and what is not. I read that Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee was good but I would rather have a variety pack.
Does anyone recommend a variety pack I can get on the internet? I also live about 1/2 mile away from Williams Sonoma where they got their espresso machine but I don't think they carry good coffee beans.

Posted by mcohveca on 2005-09-26 08:11:16 Post Subject: Starbucks has competition!? Shop owners, what do you think??
Hello All,
We are trying to determine the success of a new product that may compete with SBX Doubleshot, and Frappacino.
It is called Jablum Classic. Made from 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee (Mavis Bank Central Factory) with cream and sugar, bottled in a sexy blue bottle.
You can see an image here: http://cohvecacoffee.com/Merchant2/merc ... y_Code=UC5
Shop owners, what do you think? Can this compete with SBX? I know that SBX sells around $90million/year worth of their bottled coffee products. There is no comparable product for coffee shops to sell(unless you are SBX!), so do you think this will do well?
Thanks,
Alex

Posted by hardwire on 2006-12-13 21:22:36 Post Subject: 100% Pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in Whole Bean ? ? ?
Hi, first timer poster, long time reader here...
I'm looking for some place to find the best 100% Pure & Fresh Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in Whole Bean Form.
I'm specifically looking for non-wallenford Jamaican. I've tried it and it hasn't been as good as some other JBM that I've drank. However, all those experiences were in a coffee shop, not at home.
Now that I have a nice vaccum air pot, and a good burr grinder for home use, I'd like to find some great fresh beans.
Does anyone here buy 100% Pure & Fresh Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in Whole Bean Form?
Please comment if you have bought it brewed in a coffee shop or if you have bought whole bean. Also, all other comments welcome!

View entire thread: Coffee newbie - some questions
Posted by BobaFett on 2005-12-29 20:56:55 Post Subject: Coffee newbie - some questions
Hi everybody!
Well, actually I'm not a heavy coffee drinker, but recently I had some cups over the holidays. I also read something about Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee quite recently and did a Google search on it. It seems to be quite expensive, but also quite exclusive. Well, anyway, after reading a bit about coffee on the Internet I began toying with the idea of buying some special, expensive coffee, just trying it for fun.
Coincidentally I talked to an online friend today who happens to work at Starbucks. He told me that I needed a new coffee maker if I wanted to brew expensive coffe - a French press instead of an automatic drip-brew machine. Otherwise it would be like drinking good wine from a paper cup.
Is this really necessary?
And how expensive is a French press approximately?
I also thought about buying some coffee online, but he told me that you don't buy coffee over the Internet, only directly at a store. What about this?
Finally, one last question: Is it okay to drink coffee with milk or sugar? Or would this be like ruining the aroma in the eyes of experts?
I hope I'll get some answers to these questions here.

Hello Topher and Alun,
Thank you so much for suggesting that I try the Papua New Guinea coffee!
I recently had a chance to try it (in a medium roast) and I have to say that it was surprisingly good!
The Papua New Guinea certainly was very similar to Jamaican Blue Mountain. It had a very rich aroma and a "perfectly balanced" taste. It also had a pleasant lingering flavor - including what seemed to be a hint of chocolate as the coffee cooled in the cup! I was very impressed. I think I have finally found a perfect substitute for the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.
I am happy, happy, happy!!!
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I really doubt that you'd find a coffee house that serves real Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It's very expensive, and the price keeps going up. Many people like it because it has a "perfect balance of flavor, taste and aroma" which comes from rare coffee beans harvested in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.
If you do a Google search for Jamaican Blue Mountain, you'll see a variety of prices going as far up as $80 a pound. That's why many people are looking for another type of coffee bean (that's close to being like Jamaican Blue Mountain) as an alternative.
From what I've been reading, the Papua New Guinea coffee (that Topher suggested) may turn out to be the best choice as a replacement for Jamaican Blue Mountain.

Posted by c fudge on 2005-12-07 23:06:23 Post Subject: will this jamaica blue mountain last until christmas??
I'm a coffee noob, but here I go. My mom loves Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, so I decided to get her a pound at a posh coffee shop. It came to $38 and I was all happy. It wasn't until I got home I realized christmas is another 2.5 weeks away.
What I bought her were whole beans. After doing some reading I've found that enough beans should only be purchased to be used within 1-2 weeks. Well she will not be able to use these until at least 2.5 weeks (christmas). This really killed my spirits.
She is not a coffee snob, so I doubt she will be able to detect its age. However, what should I do to store it? Right now I Have it wrapped in like 5000 sheets of saran wrap, then about 4 sheets of tinfoil, then in a plastic bag, in a cardboard box, in another box, in my closet. Can it wait like this for 2.5 weeks, or should I freeze it, or should I give it to her early (which I really don't want to do)?
Please don't suggest buy her another pound because I'm a poor ass college student. Please help.

Posted by tsmalls0 on 2007-10-18 18:57:22 Post Subject:
Agreed. You have to be carefull when buying Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee as well as Kona, and the other high quality brands. Truth is that most of these coffees are grown in regions where expansion of the crop is not possible so the amount of coffee entering the market every year is limited and thus the high price. If I am going to spend that much for coffee, I would do my best to research the site thorougly before buying from them. If they 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and that''s whats represented in picture and actual product when you get it, then I would say if the price is right, continue to buy from them.

If I am going to spend that much for coffee, I would do my best to research the site thorougly before buying from them. If they 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and that''s whats represented in picture and actual product when you get it, then I would say if the price is right, continue to buy from them.

Hello KarlWalsh
If you click on the link (below) and read the forum topic, you will see that I was recently looking for a substitute for Jamacian Blue Mountain coffee because it's now about $50 a pound.
I usually buy ground coffee from the supermarket, I'm currently drinking Monsooned Malabar. I'll be sure to try Papa New Guinea if I can find it.
I have no idea how to describe the taste of coffee, the supermarkets here in England often label them from 1 to 5 and those that I particularly enjoyed were usually a 3 or 4.
I recently found a fresh coffee shop, not too far from my university campus. They apparently roast the beans and will even grind them to order. Smells really good walking from outside and I'm going to get something from there on Thursday.
I find it very difficult to write without using 'I'

Hello KarlWalsh

Topher recommended the Papua New Guinea. I tried it and found it to be an excellent substitute (and it costs much less). I like a medium roast, which is similar to Jamacian Blue Mountain, but some places also offer it in a darker roast.

By the way, don't be discouraged if you have a problem posting a message to this forum. Strange things happen sometimes.
Recently, when I have tried to post a message to this forum it takes me about four tries to get it to go through. It keeps coming up as "Invalid Session, Please Resubmit" I just keep on hitting "submit" each time and hope for the best. The message eventually goes through and it gets posted. It's annoying, but I guess I have to live with it.

Posted by JenC on 2007-09-26 15:37:45 Post Subject: Thanks
Thanks for the suggestions. Ironically, I was actually in Jamaica a year and a half ago and toured the coffee plantations on the mountain. It was interesting. They are not big rows of plants as I expected. There were banana plants everywhere and the coffee plants where planted underneath them for shade. If you have never been to Jamaica........GO! Take a jeep tour up the mountain. We loved it! Ironically, I did not drink any coffee while we were there. Ocho Rios was a port we stopped in for the day while on a cruise, and the only time I drank coffee that day was that morning on the Italian cruise ship we were on........ Italian Cappuccino, of course! I did get a bag of Blue Mountain coffee beans, but I have just wanted to keep them for a souvenier (sp?) of the trip. Who knew that bag sitting there is probably the exact coffee I'v been looking for. How long do beans last???

I may be a little bias but it is tough to argue with Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee not being considered the best. I like Coffee Roasters of Jamaica which was also rated highest in quality by Jamaicas Coffee Industry Board.

Hello, just road the net looking for 'real' blue mountain coffee, found prices
from $15 to $40 a lb., how do you know if your getting the real deal?.
I was in Jamaica on vacation and I can say the blue mountain I had in the resturant was great, I've tried a few brands (whole bean) here in the states and nothing compares. Are there any companies willing to send a one pot sample.
Thanks.......perry

Posted by mpkelley20 on 2005-02-04 09:58:32 Post Subject:
Ok, tried my new Bodum Santos Electric Vacuum brewer last night for the first time. I used some older Blue Mountain coffee my neighbor had brought back for me this year from Jamiaca. I was not impressed with the quality and taste of this coffee the few times I tried it (way too sour and mild) but I didn't have any of my green beans roasted so this is what I had to work with.
I set the machine up, added the water and newly ground coffee and watched. The process was very enjoybale to watch and I was amazed at how this thing works. When it was done, I poured my first cup and was blown away at how good it tasted. The sourness was gone and, although still mild, the taste was delicious.
The main thing I noticed was how piping hot the coffee was. My crappy Mr. Coffee machine never got the coffee this hot. I would sometimes have to throw my cup in the microwave in order to heat it up because any adidition of cream would make the coffee luke warm. Don't have this problem anymore.
I now understand some people's complaints with the electric version of this. There is no real way to control the brewing time as everything is pre-programmed in the electric base. I guess with the stove top version, you can control when the heat is shut off which in turn releases the brew back to the lower chamber. For people wanting a stroner brew, they can keep it on the heat source longer. With the electric version, you don't have this option. I suppose I could play around with the bean grind (make it finer) but I doubt I am going to be complaining considering what I was using before.
The next big test is on Sunday when I have people over to watch the Superbowl. I will be roasting beans tonight so they will be perfect for Sunday evening. I'm sure I will be getting a lot of compliments from my friends!
Go Pats!!!!

Wow...I should hope that Coffee roasters of Jamaica was your favorite...seeing that it is your company
Jamaican coffee is a nice coffee..but to be honest it is a bit over priced. I sell about 100 lbs a week...so I can't really complain

Perry,
Like you an many others on this forum, I got tired of paying an arm and a leg for this coffee, so I made a concerted effort to find better deals that did not mean skimping on quality or authenticity. I have found a great site called blumcafe.com. They have some of the best prices out there. The coffee is ordered and prepared fresh from the coffee mill in Jamaica when you place your order. The longest I have had to wait for mine is 10 days. If you can handle the wait, I would highly recommend. They carry Wallenford products. It was fresh and I loved it.

I get my Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee twice a month at http://www.blumcafe.com At their prices I can afford it, plus their coffee is certified, too. I am not that loyal when it comes to the kona. I usually drink that when I can't get my JBM fix, but since finding BlumCafe, it has not really been a problem getting the coffee.

View entire thread: Expensive Beans!
Posted by tintinet on 2003-09-08 17:40:53 Post Subject: Pricey Beans
The most expensive beans I've encountered tend to be either Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona Hawaiian. Personally, I prefer many less expensive beans to the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee I've tasted, but I really do like the Kona stuff, although, perhaps not at 4 times the cost of many other great coffees!
You might want to sample some of these more expensive type coffees at your local coffee house before you decide if you're willing to part with so much cash for a load of beans!

View entire thread: Real Kona Blend
Posted by mcohveca on 2005-08-21 07:06:02 Post Subject: Kona Blends
Kona coffee has heralded as one of the finest coffees in the world. The same can be said about Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. The two are linked in several ways.
1. The price. Kona is roughly $25/lb. and JBMC is roughly $40-and as high as $60/lb. So they are considered two of the most expensive coffees in the world.
2. Rarity. They are not produced in the quantity that say a Brazil is produced. To add to that, they are very strict in terms of visual defects, and also the territory in which they are grown.
and last..
3. The amount of fake Kona, and JBMC that is sold as either a blend, or the real thing!
If you are going to buy a blend of either of the above, make sure they are a reputable roaster. It is my belief that if you are going to market a blend as a Kona, or JBMC Blend, it should remain true to the name and contain AT LEAST 30% of the featured coffee. Especially if you are charging a pretty penny for it. Also, it should be blended not with just any other coffee, but with one that will help to enhance the featured coffee. Our company offers a 100% JBMC as well as a blend called Blue M Blend (which contains at least 50% JBMC). We include a certificate of authenticity with each. I doubt some of these others offering a Kona blend, or other, would guarantee that their blend contains even 10% !!!!!
