for store brand coffe stuff you can get at walmart i like folgers black silk its dark and bold but not oily or bitter.I also like gevalia coffee its mail order ony and a little pricey but excellent coffee
I buy "green" beans. For those who are not in the know... that has nothing to do with environmental stuff. They are un-roasted. I roast them at home. Today was a nice Full City roast of Guatemalan beans. Very similar to coffee from Peru. MMMM
+1 to the roasting of beans I have an iRoaster that I was given as a gift for my birthday. My father in law got me started and I haven't done it in a while, but tonight seems like a good to get back into it!
I always buy whole bean and grind it myself. Been on a serious Rawandan kick lately. Ground coffee in a can..."shudder"
yeah my roomie has a bean grinder thing and I told her I can never go back to coffee in a can ever again. Lately I've been having 8 O clock cause I've been poor, but there is a blend my roomie gets from Boston that is omgthesex for Coffee, I'll have to ask her later what it's called so I can post it, but it is the best coffee I have ever had
Just started getting into coffee a couple months ago. I'm almost finished building my DIY bread machine coffee bean roaster. Gonna try roasting my own green coffee beans. Supposedly there's no substitute for fresh roasted and grinded beans.
I love roasting my own beans. This morning it is Nicaraguan beans I roasted last night before bed. Nothing like a cup of coffee like this in the morning and a spot of sunshine to sit in while enjoying a good stick.

I was on sweetmarias site today trying to decide which beans to try first. I'll have to post some pics of my homemade roaster and cooling when I get finished.
That's very cool Andrew. Makes my campfire popcorn popper/roaster look even more low tech. Hope it works well for you.
I did a pretty good amount of reading on the net. I was going to go with the old school air popcorn popper but I read alot of people get very good results with the bread machine method. I spent about $50 total putting it all together. All the pre-made roasters that have good reviews are high dollar. Going to try and pick out some beans tonight.

I've got some nice sumatra beans if you'd like a 1/2lb or so to mess around with.
