What's with these people that drink decaf? I think they're kind of missing the point...
I agree! It is blasphemy!

The man speaks the truth. Unfortunately, though, genuine Blue Mountain Jamaican beans cost about 30+ USD / pound, which is why most places only sell blends that contain a paltry 10% Blue Mountain Jamaican beans.
I'll use a 65% Colombian / 35% Jamaican blend of my own roasting. Still expensive, but it's worth it to me.
Kona coffee beans comes in a somewhat close second, and at a more reasonable price.
An excellent resource for coffee:

On a concluding note, never buy Vietnamese coffee! They grow an awful type of Robusta (which is already awful to begin with) bean that has such a foul taste to it, that the roasters must treat their Robusta beans with butter and fish oil to kill off that raw sewage taste.
The next person who brings in Vietnamese coffee to my lab is going to get a chewing out of magnanimous proportions...
I work a grave shift. We used to get this guy decaff all the time on coffee runs. That is how we entertained ourselves. We thought it was hilarious.

I almost opened a coffee shop 2 years ago. Had everything worked out, location picked out, etc. Except for the startup cash needed. LOL

Blue Mountain Jamaican.... (spoken in a Homer Simpson voice with drool)
Dark roast Arabica beans for me, brand is secondary.
I *really* prefer espresso-based drinks, though, or espresso. Coffee is like "coffee bean tea."
Completely agree about the burnt coffee comment: yuck.
Coffee at work here almost always sucks: either watery or burnt. Blech.

I totally agree on the "burnt coffee". An easy solution is to buy a cheap
thermos-type carafe, and pour the entire pot (or as much as you want to eventually drink) into it as soon as the brewing has finished. It will keep it hot for a couple of hours, and it tastes great from start to finish.
I got one for about $10.

So Jeff has convinced me to buy a french press and grind my own beans.
I am going to try all the coffees listed in this thread (if I can get my hands on them) over the course of the next few months and let you all know which is the best
I'm selfless that way.

Great choices. You'll get better tasting coffee with a French press, since the "filter" used in a French press isn't going to absorb some of the tasty oils that a conventional paper one will.

You may, or may not, be affected. Only one tasty way to find out!

Jeesh Bob, they are only $600 Might as well get 3 or 4 so you have a couple of back-ups just in case one dies. LOL
I researched these machines when I was looking to open shop (main focus was going to be Bubble Tea, coffee's were a side line)
It's got great reliability, is a semi-commercial model, and you can dial in exactly the blend you like. Oh, and its kinda portable....which means one of these years I'll have it at the M&G's
