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'm an espresso guy, and will soon be needing to buy some new espresso beans.
What are some of your favorites for espresso?
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.
