    I"ll try your beans bro. Although I'm terrible at describing flavours.

    That Ethiopia stuff I posted above is good. Quite a different taste than the Kicking Horse I was on prior.

    I would try beans for sure. My breville awaits.

    Just picked up some stump town beans in Portland. The locals claim it is the best beans in Portland!

    Haven't been sleeping much because of a sick kid, and picked up some Starbucks Sumatra beans from the grocery store without really reading the package. I don't prefer a dark roast, and I shouldn't have bought these.

    Makes me miss those Co-op Ethiopia beans. Will be going back for more of those.

    ^ 100% Kona beans are the best, I'm hooked.

    Bought some while in Hawaii in January, then bought a few more lbs from a roaster who sells on ebay.

    I just got the regular Hario. So good. Been making a lot of iced coffee with it lately.

    Been wanting to try the Rosso espresso beans... anyone gave them a shot lately?

    Hario Slim mini has been good. For a guy that brews one cup at a time, this is about as large as I want to go. Not as slender as the cheapo mill I was using before, so it takes up more room in the fridge door. Was set much finer than I am used to, so I left it there and am experimenting with the finer side of life.

    On the cheap coffee front, now that I'm working evenings, I'm drinking bulk mother Parker's drip. Can really tell the difference in quality between that and the fresh ground I drink in the morning.

    The shitty mother Parker's crap at work was only palatable if I put loads of cream in it. And the shitty machine occasionally seems to brew cold coffee. I was over that scene.
    Brewing at home and just taking a good quality vacuum go-mug of coffee to work nowadays and it's still plenty hot four hours into my shift. Back to drinking it black.

    Still running those co-op Ethiopia beans and grinding for each cup. They go on sale once and a while for six bucks a bag, which is right up my alley.

    May as well expose my ignorance. What's the difference between espresso beans and other coffee beans?

    Nothing really. Both are coffee beans. Espresso beans are typically just roasted differently (darker usually) and designed to be ground really finely.

    These guys opened their shop finally, and have a 'bulk' deal where you save a few bucks if you bring a container. Ive been drinking their ethiopia with my new blender and temp controlled kettle.. definitely making better coffee http://devilsheadcoffee.com/

    My go-to daily coffee these days is the big blue bags of Kauai Coffee from Costco. It's so much better than Starbucks/Tims, etc. and a nice change from most of the off-the-shelf coffee everyone sells that is almost always "dark roast" or "extra bold" or some other way to spin the fact that they just roast the shit out of it for longer shelf life haha.

    Out of all the major chains, honestly I think Tim's is tied with Starbucks for worst coffee available. It's why most drinkers from these places get crazy amounts of cream and sugar added.

    McDicks always surprises me what you can get for $1 lol

    A cafe across the street uses Cherry Hill beans from Kelowna (?). Really great flavour and for people who like a nutty taste you'll love it.

    Tim's and Starbucks are piss. I agree. I was at a coffee roaster in Montana before and they explained why it always tastes so bad, basically just over roasting to mask how stale it is.

    Wasn't there something with McDonalds buying Tim's old coffee supplies though? I heard they swooped in the last minute and contracted the Tim's coffee supply because they were lazy with the renewal but I don't remember exactly.

    Not sure. By no means is their coffee good but for $1 it's not awful!
