We are now offering already Ground Coffee on our website! If you prefer the convenience over the freshly ground flavor, or if (as in my case) you don't want to wake up those dear little people in your house by grinding your early morning coffee, this is for you. As always, the great whole bean coffee is also available. Just select which presentation you wish to purchase when entering the quantity.

According to local news this week, Honduras has moved up to 5th place among the world's largest coffee exporting countries! Pretty amazing, considering that it's a country the size of the state of Pennsylvania.  When I stopped at the Export Permits office a few days ago, the official told me that they've exported around 800 million pounds of green coffee so far. As they finish up the exports for the season, they expect to exceed 900 million pounds. Most of Honduras' coffee is sent to Europe, with Germany at the top of the list. I forget how much Mr Fernandez...

Single-serve cups are just around the corner! They are designed to work with the 2.0 Keurigs and older models. Enjoy Rugged Mountain Coffee Original quick and easy!

Yesterday we finished another year's harvest.  It was a very busy time, but we are happy for a great crop.  

Our pickers must hand-pick approximately 275 ripe cherries to make a pound.  Because of all the processing & drying, approximately 8 lbs of ripe cherries equal 1 lb of roasted beans, so it takes about 2,200 ripe cherries to make one pound of exportable coffee, or 50 cherries to make a cup of coffee.  There are normally 2 beans per cherry, although some have 3 beans.
