So, what is the best coffee TB has ever had? I'm looking for a good new brew.

I love coffee too, but I use local roasters / and have mine ground right there, at a place 2 blocks form my house. I can ask if they ship, the stuff is to die for.

However, it is difficult to find and expensive as hell, and the quality of beans has slipped ever since that hurricane hit them and wiped out the crop several years ago. Might have been Andrew, I don't remember which one it was.
Nowadays, I use Cafe Bustelo. It is an espresso roast made for the Latin American market. I brew mine strong, and add turbinado sugar, a la Cuban coffee. Wonderful with a cigar, as well. |

Jamaican Blue is the greatest coffee in the world. |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | Kenya AA was my favorite for years. Peaberry and Maragope (sp?) are really good as well.
I pretty much play the field these days.
I have discovered that Goya Espresso is awesome stuff, and much more affordable than the boutique stuff.

The roaster is Doma and they are located in post falls ID. I get it whole bean and grind it mere seconds before I brew it in a french press/bodum. I am a coffee snob. I live in a land of lattes, breves, espresso, etc, but I make my coffee at home or in a pinch I'll have my barista fiancee make me some from her work. They serve Doma as well. |

I usually keep their Costa Rica Peaberry and Kona in my pantry. They also carry Jamaican Blue ($25.95 per 8oz) and other select varieties. Another nice thing is their European Coffee house selections (roasted and blended like the coffee houses of their name)... my favorite of these is Le Precope (a Parisian coffee house).
You can even sign up for their seasonal flavored coffees and limited selections (that are available only once a year).
If you love good coffee, and don't mind paying the price for it ... Gevalia is a one stop shop.
BTW... I'm drinking some Peaberry right now.

His protagonist in the excellent novel (not as good a movie) Glory Road, Oscar Gordon, opined that coffee comes in five descending stages:
Coffee
Java
Jamoke
Joe
Carbon Remover
Further deponent sayeth not.
