Torisi Fine Ground Espresso with a little bit of Torani Sugar-Free Caramel syrup - it beats paying $5+ per cup.

Stumptown Ethiopian single origin that "y" word i can't type after some glasses of Unum can franc tonight.
That would be Yirgachaffe (or Yirgacheffe, depending on who you ask). My better half calls it "crack coffee" because she can't stop drinking it, even when she knows she probably should.
That's the one. I share her opinion, it is amazing. Of course, I've learned a lot is driven by your grinder and a number of other vZariables when you have a manual/semi manual espresso maker but that's the beauty of it. The espresso these beams produce is close to nirvana.
Biftu Gudina from Ethiopia.
Starbucks "Casi Cielo"
Starbucks Gravitas Blend Number 2

When we run out of cracky Ethiopian stuff, we resort to the backup bag of Starbucks Willow Blend. C calls is "Willow Bland".
Still going through our stash of Starbucks Christmas Blend. P ordered 12 bags at half price through their website.

Whole bean? Do you keep it in the freezer?

Whole bean. Keep it in the coolest part of the cellar. Never the freezer. It's still fine. The "best before"'date on the packages is end of May (for all that means).
Back and forth between Vigilante Ethiopia Lekempti and Zeke's Mexican Chiapas. Both local roasters and I buy the bean at a discount because the organic market my son works at carries them in bulk. Unfortunately we go through about a pound a week.
Papua New Guinea Sero Bebes
A pretentious hipster pour-over.
The Starbuck stash is long gone and we've moved back to our other staple: Trader Joe's Pajaro. Extra dark, rich, and velvety.
Two Brothers Stomping Ground espresso roast.
Enjoyed the best cappuccino I've had in years, Friday morning, at a small cafe in Venice called Palanca. So good that I ordered another which wasn't near as good. Hard to repeat the perfect combination and balance consistently.
Best coffee I ever had was at Douwe Egberts store during vacation in the Netherlands. I highly recommend to all the coffee lovers. It is pricy but amazing.
Counter Culture Batin Baru - An experimental lot of Sumatran coffee beans.
This is the first Sumatran I can recall that didn't taste burnt from over roasting. A very nice cup o' joe.
