    New Orleans used to get a lot of coffee.

    Used to know a guy in Biloxi(I think) whose family had been in the business of reclaiming coffee that had become damp during shipment. I would guess container ships have eliminated that hazard.

    No, there is still coffee that comes into the warehouse that is moldy. Not a lot but some.

    Yes. We house more coffee than anyone else I believe.
    We have over 500,000 bags of green coffee and each bag is 134-156 lbs each.

    Yummm!! It's all in the crema. You only get good crema when everything is right. Bean, grind, pack, pressure & temperature and pull time.

    Seems there is no end to the enabling you guy's are capable of. I have a small sunbeam espresso machine(was cheap but works ok), mocca pot and 2 bodum french presses. I large maybe 4 cup and the other is a double wall travel cup with the press inside. Have a crappie electric blade grinder that works ok if you shake it ok while using but after reading the thread seems I may want a hand grinder and possibly a pour over a vac pot to try as well.
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
