Interesting - I buy beans for home in NJ, and ground here in DR. I was at La Sirena in San Cristobal on Saturday, and their Monte Alto beans are marked down a lot - I think the ground was 243 or so, and the beans were 175. At the time, I thought that probably they weren't selling so they marked them down, but maybe they're being discontinued??[/QUOTE
Here in Jarabacoa there are plenty of the types of Monte ALTO in all the stores. 157 - regular, 189 - whole organic beans

Got a bag if the organic Monte alto coffee yesterday in a supermarket in Jarabacoa. Had a cup this morning and it's so much better than the regular monte alto. Next step is buying a grinder and buy beans.
I don't have a grinder yet...and thanks to Celt202 I found the monte alto kiosk in Agora and will buy the beans there when I have the grinder.Should have bough beans in the same store.

The non-organic coffee I got a while ago from monte alto tasted like santo Domingo coffee to me. But maybe it was an old bag."Dominican Coffee Plantation",...................."Put all beans in bags",.......Stick "ORGANIC LABEL" on half the bags, charge more for the "Organic" beans!!!!
Nobody can tell the difference anyway!!!!!
"Olivo Family Blend",........"RULES"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT, I doubt I'd know if you slipped me some other premium coffee!

Mortar and pestle like every other Dominican uses.
You can't use a Krups or Braun sin luz!
