Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters

A month or so ago I wrote on my Facebook profile. I was whining because I had just finished off the last of my Starbucks Coffee. Though one would think that this should not be such a big deal it is when you are on a very tight budget and the alternatives are not very pleasing.  To be honest I have not found a coffee here that is worth brewing... I'm not saying it's not here... I just have not had it yet.

Well my good friend from Grass Valley, CA Jeff Alaways wrote on my Facebook and said he would bring me some coffee when we meet in Ireland to work at Dublin Christian Mission together. This was pretty exciting. I was expecting a 5lb bag of Starbucks from Costco or something. What a blessing that would be. Now I had yet another reason to get excited about the trip to Ireland... a real selfish one.

When I arrived in Ireland and met up with the guys from Grass Valley Jeff told me "I brought the coffee... 10lbs of Dark Mexican Roast from Sierra Coffee Roasters..."

I'm thinking 'Oh great some cheapo off brand junk that I will have to put up with for 6 months'...

" Thanks Jeff... Wow that's great... Who is Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters?" Well as it turns out they are a Grass Valley Coffee Roaster. Our fellowship in Grass Valley has switched to their coffee for use in the coffee shop. 

I was still sceptical but said brew some up... 

No coffee pot... No Way!

 

Wednesday we got a coffee maker and I had a cup... it was smooth and dark and full flavoured. Dude this was nice coffee. So I drank three cups Wed evening and didn't sleep all night.

So I have 9lbs of pure delight to last me a while. Hopefully until we go on furlow so I can get some more to bring back. I have added a link to Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters for you all to check them out. order a bag you'll love it.

Oh by the way if you are looking for the spiritual punchline.... Sorry.... this was just a shameless plug for great Coffee.
