Looking For Good Coffee Recs
Posted on 3/16/23 at 8:59 pm

I’m not really a coffee snob, as I simply make coffee each morning in my Cuisinart drip coffee pot, but I like really good coffee. What are your favorite whole bean light or medium roast coffees that are good in a normal drip coffee pot and available online? I had a small company here in North Alabama that I really liked but I am finding that the quality of the beans they procure is very inconsistent. I’m done with them for a while.
Edit: Should have mentioned that I’m looking for sub-$30/lb coffees. More than that and I’ll just pay a bit more for a Jamaican Blue Mountain or nice Kona.

Amavida from FL is really, really good.

Both a bit overrated, in my opinion.
Without knowing exactly where you live, it’s tough. Do you have any local coffee shops that roast their own beans? That would be my first stop, if so.

The bean itself is important, but equally important are: roast date, grind size, water quality, brew method. For good quality, I’d source some from a local roaster.

I live in far NE AL. The small roasting company I mentioned is about an hour away and always has bags in a local grocery chain that has been roasted within the last 30 days. It used to be great, but not so much lately. My son brought me some fresh roasted beans from a place in BHM called June. It’s really good, but they don’t mail order.

Stumptown is damn good. Mad Priest, Seven Weeks. My wife tends to buy me random things vs. me shopping, so I don't always remember what they are. Charleston (has a turtle logo), Orinoco. Note: I like the dark stuff, sometimes I end up with a medium-dark, but generally dark. I figure the ones who can roast can knock out a light as well, who knows.

I order from Fresh Roasted Coffee, think they are based out of PA but they roast fresh to order. Probably not the best quality (at least what I order), but I get 2 lbs for about $25 shipped. They have higher grade stuff too.
At $30/lbs, I think you have a lot of options for high quality beans. Maybe browse reddit.com/r/coffee for some recs.

You can order whole bean or ground coffee beans from Panther Coffee based out of Miami. I've tried several roasts by them and enjoyed each. No less than $17/lb. I use an espresso machine but have tried these in a drip coffee maker.

Right now I'm drinking a Donut Shop KPod, it reminds me of Waffle House coffee.
I own a grinder, espresso machine, a Nespresso, french press, a pourover, and I make my own cold brew for travelling.
The KPod is inexpensive, clean, and brews a basic yet good cup. I think I'll have another.

I have yet to have a bad cup of Lavazza. Also, get yourself a Moka pot. I've never gone back to a normal pot of coffee.

Without knowing anything about your area, I'd say your best bet is to try to find another small scale local roaster.
For bulk coffee purchases, we usually buy Ruta Maya from Costco.

One of the best roasters in the world. I think they are probably pushing his $30 a pound limit once you add shipping.
I found this article last year and ordered a bag or two from most of the ones listed. I need to do this again.

Don Pablo’s signature blend.

My local coffee shop uses Onyx...anytime I get coffee from any other place in town it is such a let down.

I grew up in La. but never drank coffee until about 15 yr ago (now 67). Tastebuds aren't all that discriminating but for a number of years now have been buying from Sweet Marias from out in CA. Have also been home roasting with one of their small roasters (though used air popcorn popper for several years) and using their green beans. You can experiment with all different kinds of origins, fine tune your own roasts, blends, etc. Their prices are about the best I've seen. They have a lot of good info on their site, too.
Since the quality begins to diminish as soon as beans are ground, by roasting and grinding yourself, you're assured of freshness.
