I love this coffee. The Peet's near my house recently closed, unfortunately, but they always had at least 10 different freshly-roasted coffees available, and this was one of my favorite. I miss that place. I still buy their ground stuff in the grocery store when the alternatives are convenient.
Dunkin coffee at the DC airport.... Really bad

Detour's Vista Al Valle (Costa Rica)

Fresh Market Caramel Machiata- OK for flavored coffee, certainly not going to be a regular mug
Indian Monsooned Malabar
Guatemalan San Sebastian from Peet's. If you like a dark (but not bitter) roast with a touch of bittersweet chocolate (yes..mocha on the mid-palate!) run, do not walk to your local store and get a bag. Exceptional.

Kenya Grand Cru from a local Whole Foods store. Pretty tasty despite the goofy name.
Kickapoo Driftless Morning. V. good and in the style of Dark Matter's house blend. Blend of medium and dark roasts.
Counter Culture Big Trouble - 100% Valle Del Santuario Peru
Death Wish, purchased online, pretty good but not worth the price, IMO
Eternity Roasters Ethiopian "Yirgacheffe"... no idea what any of it means, but it's delicious, and gives me jitters.

Love Yirgacheffe coffee.
So I got myself educated about coffee as well as espresso equipment.
Many hundreds of dollars later (but still less than a case of a good Barolo), a fabulous espresso maker arrived at my doorstep and off I went making espresso.
I now decided that the favorite coffees of mine are, in no particular order:
Counter culture forty six
Intelligentsia black cat espresso blend
Stumptown Ethiopian single origin that "y" word i can't type after some glasses of Unum can franc tonight.
I have to get me a better grinder I think but that's on the list for when I decide it's a lifestyle change not a passing obsession. Should be next week I think.
Anyone have ideas or suggestions about their favorite grinder and espresso maker?
