I will be ordering coffee from the UK in February. I will update with which roasters after a little research.

Yeah. No leaks like Tim Hortons. I'm surprised nobody has sued Tim Hortons yet for getting burned by leaky cups. At the very least sued the price of an interior detail as anyone that drinks their coffee on a regular basis would have coffee all over their console. I don't know why they won't change their lids.
I bet someone fucked up in supply chain and signed an agreement that will be costly to terminate. Anything but those awful lids.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Doing a little head-to-head comparison between the superstore PC Columbian Supremo (light) and Kicking Horse Pacific Pipeline (medium).
Both made with fresh ground beans, same grind same filter, same kettle.
I think it's official, I like light roast better. The PP is good, fine, and enjoyable but to go with my peanut butter and jam breakfast I'm 100% happy with the PC stuff.
That's a win for this coffee cheapskate.

Isn't comparing light to medium, apples to oranges? Shouldnt it be compared to the Hola?
Tried Cherry Hill Ignition and if you like fruity and acidic, this one is for you. I really like it!

I been drinking quite a bit of the Kauai Medium Roast coffee lately. Good value and really nice breakfast coffee for my morning french press.
Costco sells huge bags of those (if that isn't where you got them). I like it a lot too.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also Safeway has had 1lb bags of Kicking horse on for $9.99-$11.99 lately, so I grabbed a few bags for a change. Not sure when the sale is over.
That is where I get it from... I am quite pleased with it!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Got any suggestions for an affordable bean with a similar flavour profile that can be bought locally in Calgary? I finally purchased some real coffee making equipment and need to hone my skills, I foresee many failed (but still hopefully delicious) experiments in my future.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I guess it depends on your definition of affordable, especially in this nutty niche world of premium coffee
Local to Calgary, Phil and Sebs typically seems to sell more acidic beans that I prefer - the staff are knowledgeable and should be able to help you narrow a bag down. Pro tip - squeeze the bag and smell the one-way valve, this should give you a good indication if you'll enjoy it. I find the smell from there is spot-on when making a french press in the blooming stage and carries through in the coffee fairly well.

Brought home 8 bags of Juan Valdez beans from Colombia in November. The smoothest most flavourful drip coffee that I’ve had to date. Drink it black every day. Can’t say I’ll be going back to store brand anytime soon.
Have you guys tried roasting your own coffee beans? Seriously the difference is dramatic. Nothing beats freshly roasted beans.
I just buy green beans online, and use an old popcorn popper.
I have a roaster in my home and am currently building a "roasterie" in my garage (going through all the licensing and permits as we speak) this is exactly how I got hooked, Started with a whirley pop. I just bought a Professional Roaster 'San Fransican sf-6' I buy my coffee by the bag (130-150 burlap sacks) Such a fun hobby/business.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Okay, did a head to head with Kicking Horse Holla vs PC Columbian Supremo light roast. Had my source import me a bag directly from the roasterie in Invermere. Actually measured the beans today, used 24g to make a single cup of each via pour over.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Result: I can't tell the difference. If anything the Kicking Horse is a hair more fragrant, but taste is indistinguishable.
A coffee snob would probably have some more extensive tasting notes, but I'm guessing in a blind test they'd score very close even to experts.
Since I'm a cheapass I should probably stick to the big cheap magenta bag from superstore.
