Nothing goes together better than cowboys and coffee!

We’re off to the SASS Convention!

Aloha kakahiaka!  (Good morning in Hawai’ian)  Here in Ruidoso, New Mexico we just say “howdy.”  Happy Tuesday morning and greetings to all you coffee fiends.   That’s fiends not friends.  I know how you really feel about coffee!  The purpose of this group is to unite coffee lovers, especially lovers of Kona coffee, and perhaps learn a little about coffee and all the benefits of coffee at the same time.

THE 10TH ANNUAL SINGLE ACTION SHOOTING SOCIETY CONVENTION AND WILD WEST CHRISTMAS FEATURES A MASQUERADE BALL…VICTORIAN TEA…PAJAMA PARTYCLASSIC COWBOY SALOON DANCE…AND GREAT EXHIBITORS!  PLUS, THE WILD WEST PERFORMING ARTS SOCIETY’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!  ALL AT THE RIVIERA HOTEL AND CASINO IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA THIS WEEKEND!

The Kona Cowboy Coffee Company will be there!   We’ll be on the Wild West Christmas trade show floor.  The Wild West Christmas event is designed to showcase the products, events and related industries pertaining to Cowboy Action Shooting, the Old West and our American Western Culture.

The SASS Convention also provides a daily schedule of educational seminars, guest speakers and entertainment. Seminars are conducted by experts in the various areas of the sport and many of the most recognized competitors in the game. I’ll be doing two historical seminars; the first on the beginning of Geronimo’s vengeance raids against the Mexicans and the second on the Colorado Railroad War, when Bat, Doc and the guys from Dodge were armed with a cannon in Pueblo, CO.

The Wild West Performing Arts Society’s World Championship Competition will include Knife & Tomahawk competitions, Whip competitions, Gun Handling competitions, Trick Roping Events and more!

Our new SASS COWBOY ACTION Coffee will be debuted at the SASS Convention!  Blended, roasted and packaged exclusively for members of the Single Action Shooting Society, COWBOY ACTION Coffee is a medium dark roast proprietary blend of exotic Ethiopian and Indonesian coffees chosen for their strapping flavor, deep body and unique taste.

We're fighting higher prices...but...


Uh, oh…might be a slight price adjustment for 2012.

Aloha kakahiaka!  (Good morning in Hawai’ian)  Here in Ruidoso, New Mexico we just say “howdy.”  Happy Tuesday morning and greetings to all you coffee fiends.   That’s fiends not friends.  I know how you really feel about coffee!  The purpose of this blog is to unite coffee lovers, especially lovers of Kona coffee, and perhaps learn a little about coffee and all the benefits of coffee at the same time.

The Kona Cowboy Coffee Company might have to make a relatively small price adjustment in 2012.   Frankly, we put off having any price increase as long as we possibly could, but I am sure you can appreciate that with so many ingredients, shipping and production expenses becoming more expensive, at some point we simply will have to make an adjustment – but we will keep the increase to the bare minimum.   Some other manufacturers have addressed rising costs instead with tampering with their formulations to less quality ingredients and/or by paying less attention to detail in production, but that’s not what we’d do.  So we hope you understand, and if and when we do, we will provide plenty of notice to get in any orders you need before the new price list goes into effect.

Do you want FREE coffee?  The first Kona Coffee fan who comes to the Kona Cowboy Coffee Company's Cowboy Coffee Saloon at upcoming events will get a free, that's FREE bag of CAFE PINON de Nuevo Mexico...our newest fusion coffee made with a proprietary blend of central American coffees and real New Mexico pine nuts!  Look for us November 26 – 27 at the Christmas Fantasy in Roswell, NM and December 1 – 4 at the Single Action Shooting Society’s Annual Convention, Wild West Christmas and Wild West Performing Arts Society World Championships at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

Is there any coffee other than Starbucks?

Doesn’t anybody know any coffee other than Starbucks?

Aloha kakahiaka! (Good morning in Hawai’ian) Here in Ruidoso, New Mexico we just say “howdy.” Happy Tuesday morning and greetings to all you coffee fiends. That’s fiends not friends. I know how you really feel about coffee! The purpose of this group is to unite coffee lovers, especially lovers of Kona coffee, and perhaps learn a little about coffee and all the benefits of coffee at the same time.

I had a lot of folks come up to the Cowboy Coffee Saloon at the Ruidoso Christmas Jubilee this past weekend and mention that they did…or didn’t...like Starbucks coffee. A few said that it tasted bitter or burned or, as one coffee drinker put it, “overroasted.” Well, the Kona Cowboy Coffee Company certainly isn’t competing with Starbucks but I must say that one of the major reasons Starbucks became successful was due to their overroasted profiles - a level of darkness that provided amazing consistency by covering up (or roasting out) flavors and nuances of a particular origin. Every cup has a trademark Starbucks "bite" from overroasting, regardless the origin of the coffee.

To this day, millions of consumers think that Starbucks, or Peet's, (or Folgers or Maxwell House for that matter) is how coffee is supposed to taste. That makes at least a little bit of sense as those coffees have very distinct and singular flavor points that most anyone with a decent palate can pick out as being theirs and theirs alone.

Another coffee blogger has mentioned that Starbucks built its core success on making people who essentially don't like coffee believe that they actually did. To achieve this, they optimized a roasting style that held up under heavy amounts of milk and flavored syrups. The kind of beverages where coffee is a suggestive ingredient rather than the main show.

You be the judge.
