I wanted to see if anyone here also loves good coffee.
I guess I'm a middle of the road coffee snob... I want good taste, but not high prices. I used to buy starbucks (loved the gold coast blend) religiously, but then started using World Market coffee... Same taste as starbucks, but much less expensive.
I have ever ordered from coffee roasters online with mixed results. I ordered a shipment from Intelligentsia Roasters and had both great and not-so-great coffee from them. I also just ordered a shipment from la colombe coffee, so we'll see how that is... Ordering online can be quite pricey.. I just paid apx. $55 for 4 12oz bags of coffee. Obviously, I don't plan on making this a habit. :p
I love coffee with medium roast, sweetness, nutty and buttery flavor and a lot of body. I'll let you guys know how the la colombe goes, but my current favorites from world market are: sumatra, island blend, and mocha java blend. These sell for $9.99 for 24oz bags.
Currently my favorite brewing method is french press, although I think I could get a better grinder (using a hand-powered burr grinder at present).
I'd love to hear from other coffee lovers and what you like in a coffee and where you get yours from.
