Community Coffee (New Orleans, LA)
New Orleans Blend Coffee and Chicory
http://www.communitycoffee.com/ccc/...offees/new-orleans-blend®-coffee-and-chicory/
Had a college girlfriend from New Orleans introduce me to great places like Tipitina's, the Camellia Grill, and Community Coffee.
A pound of this lasts longer than a 3-lb tin of the big brands, tastes far better, and doesn't turn your stomach upside down. I use a bit of whole milk and cane sugar with it.
Well worth your $$
Review from website (true of about every Louisianan I've known from south of the "Chicory Line"):
"I have been a coffee lover for most of my life. I grew up in Southwest Louisiana. My parents drank Community coffe, exclusively. I remember being a little kid, on Saturday mornings my dad would make us all tall glasses of coffee milk using Community Coffee. As I got older I grew to truly love coffee. It was a staple in every cajun household we went to. You couldn't go and visit without sitting around the kitchen table enjoying a pot of Community Coffee. Now I am in Oklahoma and have really grown to miss having ready access to my favorite coffee...I am so glad that you can order it online now. I love the New Orleans Blend. It is by far the only coffee that I want to drink. Thanks Community, for letting us misplaced Cajuns get access to the greatest coffee ever made!"
(We have an AQUASANA sink-mount water dispenser with dual-cartridge filtrarion; great for all cooking, not just coffee. Making sausage/srimp gumbo tomorrow).
