What's so funny about care packages?  I used to live off a combination of
care-packages of Sulawesi Kalossi from Peet's in Menlo Park (as my buddy
Pravin says, "it's like nitromethane for the human body"), and mail-order
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from the Coffee Connection in Boston.

Roasters On The Hill (666 Penn. Ave SE, Capitol Hill) is the only local
joint I've heard of which roasts their coffee fresh.  They're supposed to
be quite good, but I haven't gotten around to checking them out yet.
