jazzbo Posted June 8, 2019 Report Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) I became addicted to Ruta Maya medium roast in Austin, and luckily I can get the 2.2 lb bags from Amazon now sent to me here in Ohio. I grind it rather fine and use a #2 Melita brown filter set up to make a cup. Delicious! The only coffee in my home. Â Edited June 8, 2019 by jazzbo Quote

Still pouring it down over here - and definitely not in the high 90s. Summer came and went on Easter weekend. More this sort of weather.. Edited June 15, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
