Just had my first of this. Freshly ground in the french press this morning. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

Local coffee shop sourced some beans from Bolivia, which have been quite good. Unfortunately their supply of beans from Yemen has dried up.
Lately have been purchasing most of my beans from African regions.

Peet's French Roast for a deeply satisfying cuppa.
Caribou Lake Shore Blend.
Duane Harens (kqec@hawaiiantel.net) . . . some of the best Hawaiian coffee within the Kona district out there. For ~$22/pound, it's a steal.
Other favorite on the big island is Cloud Forest (I think I posted that a while ago though so not new). www.hawaiiancloudforestcoffee.com
If you buy either and completely disagree with my rec, I have a bottle of SQN at cost for you!

Went to the local hipster coffee shop this weekend and had a cup from producer in Rwanda named Kanzu. Really fruity and creamy with nice acid. Brewed using the pour over method which made for a nice balanced taste. Coffee is so good here it’s worth wading through all the hipsters and there short pants, oversized nerd glasses and silly mustaches.
Dwayne Wade hangs out there?

Great minds! Kona Peaberry this morning. French press. Fabulous. A gift from a client.

Greatness!
Triple Americano from Lavazza.
Starbucks double espresso... The magic card still amazes people. Although I got my intelligentsia Angeleno fix when I was in LA last week!
I Have a Bean, from a company in my home town of Wheaton, IL. Excellent stuff with the roasting date printed right on the bag.
I've also been able to source from Whole Foods in Chicago.

They have a booth and serve coffee at the Wheaton farmers market. Agree - really good stuff.
Starbucks Sumatra, ground and brewed at home.
I'm an espresso guy, and will soon be needing to buy some new espresso beans.
What are some of your favorites for espresso?

If I break out the espresso machine, Starbuck's French Roast
Drinking Costco's Kirkland Rwanda whole bean coffee. I grind it fine and brew in my stovetop Bialetti Moka espresso maker. Delicious and will buy more.

I usually brew:
Costco Rwanda whole bean
Costco Sumatra whole Bean
Costco Costa Rica whole bean
Starbucks French Roast whole bean
Starbucks Sumatra whole bean - if I run out of the above coffees I can easily grab a bag.
A friend of mine turned me onto Costco's specialty coffees - IMHO much better quality and cheaper than anything you can get at Starbucks, Whole Foods, or Fairway(local NYC supermarket).
Clover-brewed Jamaican Blue Mountain was back at Starbucks this morning. Made me happy.
Working on my second Venti of Starbucks bold whatever they're brewing (I think it's sumatra).
Third night in a row staying at the office until past 1:00 and back for 7:15...I'm getting jittery but still have a hard time keeping my eyes open and my brain working. This is why people use coke.

I've been doing cold-brew coffee this summer, and my latest batches have been great using Starbucks Medium Roast Colombian.

Something tells me all these hours will payoff in spades.
God I hope so!
Launching coverage on three names early next week. The REIT market sucks right now though with fears of reducing QE and interest rate increases. I need people to raise equity to make any of this worthwhile...
Not going to happen right now!

Sure. I'm doing my non-taper happy dance at the moment though.
French press Verona. The drip machine is on the fritz. Time for a new one.
Millstone French Roast.
After reading some favourable comments about Starbuck's Komodo Dragon blend, I finally bought a bag. Don't like it much-- it tastes burnt and just slightly bitter. A lot of the beans are broken; I suppose because they're so dried they chip easily just from contact with each other. Not impressed.
I love a dark rich brew, but this ain't it for me.

Have you tried Peet's Uzuri African Blend? My current "house" cup. Really good.

No, sir, but next time I'm in Seattle I'll make a point of getting some. I generally like Peet's products. Thanks for the rec!
I hope you like it. I prefer darker roasts for the most part, and find this to be rich, complex and full of nuance without any of the typical Starbucks burnt/bitter components. I cannot find it in whole bean (my preference) around here, but it's damn good even pre-ground.

Been enjoying Dark Matter A Love Supreme (house blend) for a few weeks.
