When I was in a country that has nothing to do with the answer, back in 2002, being a supposed coffee-lover I spent the equivalent of £27 on two cups of said Blue Mountain coffee. Nothing to add other than I still wake up screaming occasionally at my stupidity. I didn't even enjoy it. I haven't moved on yet...

I had some blue mountain ground coffee bought for me as a birthday present, I was expecting to be a little disappointed but actually really liked it, have resisted buying any more so far, but no doubt I will.
