La Colombe single origins. Typically Zambia or el Salvador.

Pour overs in a chemex.

I will drink whatever, but if I have a choice I know what and how I want it.

These threads do entertain me, especially if it were on the OT. It's like you Rent allowed to say anything bad about CC or you are labeled a hipster or a coffee snob.
There is a big world of other coffees out there and once you leave your comfor zone you will realize that CC is not all that special.
I do drink it quite a bit, so don't hate on me

Lately my go-to has been Trader Joes Colombia Supremo. Pretty middle of the road coffee, both flavor and quality wise. Price to flavor ratio is right where I like it. I want to say it's $7 per 14 oz whole beans, but I don't know. I can't remember these things.

You put me on to Orleans Coffee and I've remained faithful. I'm still jumping between their options, but have really enjoyed everything including that Italian espresso.

I order whole beans from a local roaster, Kerns Has Coffee. Usually get his Rwanda or Ecuador roasts.

That's the cheap stuff. Too much Robusto. Arabica rules.

I had a cup of one of their medium blends yesterday at the Makers Fair. It was very good. Lot of flavor, not bitter.

I dunno, I kinda like some sharp n funky robusto notes in a lightly roasted intended for espresso.

Community French roast


It's the only one that doesn't aggrevate my ulcer. It's damn dark which means less acid and caffeine. Great flavor
