I bet there coffee is good. At over $20 a pound and another $7+ for shipping it had better be damn good. That is just plain friggin ridiculous !!
I am one who enjoys my daily coffee but the stuff right off the shelf at Hannafords for $5 or $6 a pound ( I don't give a rats a$$ where it is made ) suits my pallet and my wallet just fine.
I would like to keep my mortgage and my utilitys paid so that I can have a place to enjoy my coffee and the electricity to brew it.
I am all for buying USA made if possible. But Bill Gates I'm not !!
I buy What I can afford, Where I can afford it. Unfortunatly 99% of the time it only adds to the problem and doesn't help it. It's a nasty disease called Reality !

Being the coffee lover that I am, I checked into the prices...

Top price is $0.43/cup - with the lowest at $0.14/cup...

We recently got one of those Keurig coffee makers and the lowest price I can find those pods at is $0.39 (1 pod = 1 cup of coffee).

It's cheaper than a cuppa coffee from Dunkin Donuts or whatever...

Not that I buy DD coffee but I can walk into my local DD and buy a pound of coffee and not have to pay another $7+ in shipping to get it home !

I suspect the company's quoted price per cup doesn't include the cost of S+H and it most likely is based on one of those little tea cup things and not a big old fashioned, good hand warming, New england coffee mug. Of course that is only a quick guess.
If I follow similar math (another quick guess) as to how many little cups of coffee I can get out of a $6 lb. of coffee w/ no S&H It should cost me around $0.085 per cup. That guess could vary quite a bit depending how weak or strong a person makes their coffee. I figure my coffee costs me around $0.12 to $0.15 per mug, based on 4+ mugs per pot
Like I already said. It is probaly damned good coffee , but to darned expensive for my blood.

Downtown portsmouth we have a store that specializes in NH made items.

We are right acrosse the river from Maine of course, there are some other items made in new england that may not be from NH as well. hence the name I guess.

I have 2 tiny blemished (small scratch) 16' kevlar hybrid composite, high-end day tripping, touring canoes. you can save $300-400 off msrp........... rangercanoe.com

I have a Ranger Canoe.....and it's a pretty nice canoe.....just got it last spring......paid $200 for it if I remember correct.....it is about a 20-year old, red fiberglass (or something) 17' canoe fixer-upper.....and I replaced the water-logged wood & wicker seats w/ new canvas, a new carry yoke thwart, and an old A-Row-Bic rowing rig with extended oar locks and a sliding seat installed in the center. Ranger makes very nice canoes, made right in the geographic center of NH, ASHLAND NH, cannot get any more central NH than Ashland!

Plus, looking through craigslist in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, there are like hundreds of old canoes for sale for one to four hundred dollars in either aluminum or fiberglass or plastic-synthetic and different sizes, 14-18'. Buying a used canoe is definately a buyers market now, probably because everyone is buying just kayaks, or something?
