Favorite Coffee Blend?
 

I'm almost out of coffee beans and want to try something new! I've been trying to pick up a bag o' beans from a different local coffee shop every time I run out, but perhaps I should look a little further than ABQ.

Do any of your local coffee shops sell beans (online)? If so, which?

Medium roast preferred~

you need to get some Kopi Luwak

Is that the super expensive poop coffee?

Blue Mountain Coffee is really good, the real blue mountin stuff from Jamaica. Most specialty coffee houses should have it, I get mine for about $40/lb near me. It's worth it, very good. This is assuming you only grind right before brewing.

My friend recently took over a local coffee place. He got really snobby about grinding and brewing equipment.

I thought it was ridiculous and all coffee tasted the same but goddammit if those cheap grocery store beans run through a burr grinder and brewed with this fancy pourover thing wasn't worlds better. More amazing when he used the expensive beans.

I guess what I am saying is if you're going to try other beans, make sure you try at least one batch run through a decent grinder and a french press or something other than auto-drip.

I had a similar revelation after I bought a grinder few years back. It's just so much better fresh than if you even grind it the day before and let it sit. World of difference is right.

Awesome coffee place in chicago.
