Starbucks Pike Place is my standard at home. I buy whole beans and grind fresh each time I make a pot.

We buy the Sumatra beans as well, and one of our favorites.

Picked up a coffee maker with a built-in burr grinder and love the new brew! Been buying coffee from some local shops that roast their own beans and trying some Central American beans (other than Colombia).

If the store brand is president's choice, I would agree it is an excellent coffee for something from the grocery store.

Try Peet's Sumatra if you can find it in your market. We're working on a bag now and it's very good.

I've enjoyed their Major Dickason's Blend.

I'm happy with my Capresso burr grinder.

Double espresso using Starbuck's Komodo Dragon.
You could smell cinnamon as I was grinding the beans, and there are also hints of cinnamon on the palate. A spicy and nice shot this morning.

I hope this fits into the elitist coffee thread well, but does anyone else use a Keurig and have a favorite K-cup?
Having the Starbucks Sumatra Dark now, went through a box super fast.

A whole bunch of cafes even way out in the far suburbs are now brewing Intelligentsia. It's nice to see people leaning towards fuller flavors.

Blue Bottle is the most overrated coffee out there. If you are gonna knock Starbucks, at least choose a quality coffee like Intelligentsia or Verve.
