OK, so there hasn't been a good thread lately about coffee here, specifically about what kind of coffee bean you use or like to drink. After reading the thread about the CA camping trip, I realized that there were at least a few other pressed coffee drinkers here (woohoo). There was a thread recently that touched on what kind of coffee people liked, but it was more about how people drink their coffee (This one). The closest thread I found to what I am looking to discuss was this one from last year.
So, my question is this: What kind of coffee do you like to drink? Not just general brands, but specifically, what kind of bean, where do you get it from, etc. Also, how do you like to make your coffee?
I personally like to use a French Press for regular coffee, and I also drink espresso and cappuccino. I prefer the Kenya AA bean for pressed coffee, and a good dark Frech Roast for espresso/cappucino although the Kenya makes great espresso too!
I like to get my coffee from the Village Roaster in Lakewood, CO. They roast ALL of their own coffee, and it is by far the freshest way to get coffee except for roasting your own. Plus they have a coffee shop like Starbucks in the store. Now I know you're telling yourself, "Hey, wait a minute he lives in TX, so how does he get his coffee from CO?" My family all still lives there, and I either buy it when I'm there or have them bring it to me when they visit. I've also had it mailed. You can order online from them also!
Coffee drinkers, speak up!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
