Sample letter from friend:
I have been enjoying the coffee you brought back from Colombia. I would really like to purchase more!! Karl told me that you have family there and they might be able to send a few packages to the states. Please let me know and I will gladly pay for the coffee and postage. I made a pot for my co-workers the last couple of days and everyone loves it!!

miamimike says on Feb 6, 2007, 17:54: They have many many Grinders on eBay Buy the beans, set the grind and you get the coffee much cheaper. Grinders are cheap, make sure it is a Burr Grinder and not one of those $12 Target specials. Sello Rojo is overated for the price. Ebay has many colombian coffee venders at better prices and probably fresher(end product).I have seen Sello rojo at various colombian restaurants here in Miami, one just closed in my neighborhood.

Dan says on Feb 6, 2007, 20:01: I just happen to be near the end of my last bag of Sello Rojo. But, I do have a couple packs for Sello Dorado left. Like Rum (Ron Viejo de Caldas) I usually buy them for gifts for friends and family. Speaking of Rum, I'm down to my last bottle and need another trip so I can restock my supply.

Robert Jorge says on Feb 7, 2007, 02:27: Not trying to disagree with Scotty, but I have brought vacuum sealed blocks of coffee back from Colombia, and never had it opened by customs. Of course, I have only done that a few times, so maybe I got lucky? --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

JMCana says on Feb 7, 2007, 04:16: Good coffee When people ask me why I moved to Colombia I sometimes tell them, "To be closer to the good coffee." I love good coffee and have tried everything I can from around the world.
