Wow! I have yet to have any 7-11 coffee that i would piss in, much less drink. All the 7-11 coffee I've ever had has tasted like burned shit. I supose thats a tribut to the people who work there, but I would disagree with you on 7-11 Dustin. If you are ever by a Wa Wa, then try their Columbian. Unfortunitly, i beleive they are only on the East Coast. I definatly missed them when i went west to Colorado.

IMHO, $-Bucks, 7-11, etc are all crap and as Jon said "I wouldn't piss in it". I feel the same way about 'Bucks as he feels about 7-11, it's friggin burnt. (Note, these are my opinions only. The 'Bucks owners have a little more money than I, so who am I to say!!!!)

I second Jerry (or third, or fourth, whatever). Only thing better than his beans is his service.

Killer beans are Grade A, but expensive.

Green mountain "our blend" is a nice medium roast that is tasty and won't break the bank.


edit - that being said, Jerry if you're reading this, put me on the list for four 1/2 pound bags of the Cutthroat medium roast when/if you run a batch again.

I've heard the Green Mountain NH speaks of is the best around. Peter King raves about it on his MMQB column on si.com. I've also heard the Dunkin Donuts is good too, but I've only had the beans from the store as there's no DD around here.
We have a local roaster here that has a phenomenal African bean...if anyone is interested lemme know and I'll send out some beans.

Being completely ignorant in the matters of fine coffee, Dunkin Donuts coffee is awesome. If there was one on my way to work I'd stop there every day.

+1 it is absolutely awesome. i just recieved a coffee grinder for christmas and man does it make a difference grinding fresh beans. aslo i will pose a question that i have been debating with friends. with th grinder i recieved a two pound bag of beans. my brother who does not drink coffee purchased them notknowing what to buy, so he bought espressor beans. now i have been using these in a regular drip machine for a while and they taste great but not too strong. so the question is do the beans themselves have more caffien, or is it the espresso brewwing process (pressure steam) that draws more of the caffien out of the bean?
