I'm leaning towards their dark sumatra but I'm willing to try something new.

I like dark, bold coffee. Kona is a bit strong but I like the taste.

Ideas are appreciated.

You should check out Don Francisco's brand. I use their Italian Roast (whole bean) with my Bialetti. I prepare a tall glass of cold water, loads of ice, and some brown sugar pre-dissolved (with a handheld frother) 3/4 the way. Then i just pour the coffee into it the rest of the way and I have myself a nice and sweet americano!

I really like this one. I buy it from Leaves and Beans so I'm not sure if the Amazon link is the same one, but goddamn that is some good coffee. I buy it a pound at time though so the cost isn't so high.

It's not bold but the flavor is almost enchanting. Especially on a cool fall morning.

I'm not a huge dark roast fan, but here's what I like out of your link (in order of preference):

Jamaican Blue, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Tanzanian Peaberry

Assuming you get good batches, you can't go wrong with any of the three.

The last 16 lbs of beans I've purchased have been from Red Bird. Black bird sounds like it's up your ally but Red Bird also makes a good cup (I use mine for espresso)

I visited there this summer and got to visit the coffee fields as well. The coffee is probably the best I've ever had. It's nice and dark, but without the bitterness that accompanies many darker roasts. I'd call the roast FC+. I like to roast my own coffee, so I brought back 20 lbs. of unroasted coffee .

The coffee sales provide a lot of support for Rancho Ebenezer. It's basically set up like a boys' home for children who would otherwise be on the streets without any family to take care of them. Foster parents raise them with good values, and they provide them with an education all the way through high school. Then they provide scholarships for trade school or college. The government only provides education through the 6th grade, so this gives the kids a real advantage to make something of their lives.

I believe that coffee sales raised $22,000 for the ranch last year.

Edit: If you buy 5-9 lbs., the price drops to $9/lb. If you buy 10-19 lbs, the price drops to $8/lb.
