Hardtack,
I read a government report on the price of coffee (you mentioning $5 At starbucks), in 1831 in St. Louis - gentlemen could expect to pay $1.05 for a good cup of Columbine coffee at some of the fashionable dinning places. Wonder how that worked out (money wise per pound) at the rendezvous for some of the stuff that was passed off to the trade.
Buy Folger's and save the difference for equipage.
