Price is a concern that no one has mentioned until now.  How expensive
are good beans?  I buy my coffee at The Coffee Mill in Baltimore.
As a reference, they sell a pound of Kenya AA for $5.50.  In fact
most of their beans are $5.50/lb, except for Kona, Ethiopian Harrar,
and a few others.  This is the least expensive price I have found in
the Baltimore area.  The beans are always very good.  I have seen
prices for the same coffee elsewhere between $6.00 and $9.00 per pound.
What are prices like in DC?  Do places like Price or Pace sell bulk
quantity, wholesale-like priced coffee in the bean?
