Just ran out of beans after my morning cup, so I’m actually headed to my local roaster/cafe today for another bag. I like fresh-roasted (within the last 7 days) single-origin beans. I’m not particular to any single farm - I like to try a different farm every time. There’s a couple of roasters I use locally, and sometimes I’ll splurge for a bag from Intelligensia or Blue Bottle when I feel like a change.

Anybody who loves coffee and is drinking starbucks or grocery store coffee might want to give fresh locally-roasted single-origin a try. Search on yelp or google “3rd wave coffee” and your city to find a local place that does their own roasting to see what’s available in your area. Those types of places also tend to follow fair-trade practices so you can help out the actual farmer while you’re at it.
