I am addicted to French press. I was at the Port Columbia International Airport (CMH for you pilots), and they didn't have one. I realized then that I actually have grown a certain disdain for drinking coffee any other way.

There should be coffee sludge at the bottom of your cup.

I have a travel cup that is also a french press. Drinking directly from it is unpleasant, but poured into a mug and allwed to settle : it is heavenly!

My wife drinks coffee and occasionally gets a pound of our neighbor's stuff that'a a mix of beans he grows in Kula at his O'o farm and beans from Kaanapali Coffee Farms. It runs $26.50 a pound. She sez the price difference between store bought and the Kona/Kula stuff is really out of whack as there's not much difference in the taste.
That would be a true Kona blend ? Some day I home to visit a few coffee plantations in hawaii. I just need to borrow my parents timeshare on Maui...
I have visited plantations in Mexico (Plantation Las Glorious), and on Papua New Guinea (Goroka). There's nothing like a cupping right on the plantation to to give you the full experience of a regions coffee product!

Had our first Voodoo Donut last fall in downtown Portland. Had a hard time deciding which variety to try. We sat outside at a picnic bench and enjoyed watching the goths and other interesting street people wandering in and out.
Portland is such a unique city. I wish it had had that much character when I was growing up.

Best beer I have had in a long time was at Kona Brewing Company, where it was a stout with Kona coffee in it. Yes, it was true Kona coffee. :D:
