re: Coffee recommendations

Coffee is definitely one of those things like beer and olive oil that everyone has a favorite. This means you are going to have to find out what works for you. I love coffee and have tried many of them and my favorite is Hawaiian Kona coffee. To find out what you like the best you might want to go to a local coffee shop. If you live in Baton Rouge Highland coffee by LSU is great. Some things to start with is if you want a lot of flavor try darker roasts Roberto beans but if you are looking for just high caffeine content try a light roast. Also if you are looking to brew at your house whole beans are the way to go they will remain fresh longer and by grinding them before each use you will extract the full flavor of the bean. Also store your whole beans in a air tight container at room temperature. I hope that helps you
