ELLago Coffee Co is offical

First you say 10,000 pounds of coffee. When I point out that your named
supplier, who can at most provide 90 pounds per hour, can't possibly provide
that amount without it being quite stale, (by the time they roast 10,000 pounds,
the first part of production will already be past the "sell by" date without the
shipping delay even factored in) you change your story and say you will be
bringing a load of more than one item. Now you are back to claiming a shipment
of 10,000 pounds of coffee. Oh, yeah, your supplier already sells his finished
product in the USA on the internet with $4.98 shipping on any sized order.Maybe
you should order 10,000 pounds with $4.98 shipping! Did you do ANY actual
research? Really doesn't sound like it.

At $12 a pound the $4 shipping on any quantity is reasonable. His cost
for the beans is $1-2 (or less). He'd be happy to ship a container up
for a $100k profit!

There are mixed opinions on the efficacy of the foil valve bags.
Experts on the consumer side will say 3 weeks is the "use by" time,
while the top suppliers will say 3 months. Personally I normally roast
my own and consume it within one to three weeks, but when I do buy
"pre-roasted" I wouldn't touch anything more than a month old.
Starbucks of course sells their swill 6 months stale.

The real question I have is what's the SCAA rating of the cup? To rank
in the "best I've ever had" category it would have to be 90 or higher.
