I'm always on the lookout for good coffee. My recent kick is Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut it is mild and smooth but half the price is just the label.

What is everyone else drinking?
 
Tim Hortons? Dunkin Donuts?

Bah.

I grow my own coffee bean, dark roast it... grind it.. and brew it.

It's the only way to do coffee.

Pansies.

Regular/daily home brew: Green Mountain Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Work: Dunkin' Donuts regular, sometimes a coffee coolata

A couple times a month: Jablum Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, whole bean freshly ground and french pressed...yum
 
Maxwell House currently, but I don't recommend it. I like 8 O'clock French roast, ground just before brewing. That's a good coffee, and not terribly expensive. I'd also recommend a burr grinder instead of blade. It's easier to use, and it makes grinding more consistent.

8 o'clock is a good value. Not the absolutely best coffee, but pretty good for the price. Certainly one of the better brands available in most sueprmarkets.
 
Picked up a bag of this last time I went to Costco. imo, this stuff is amazing. It has a rich, smooth, chocolate flavor and one of the best things about it is that it doesn't mess with my stomach like so many other coffees do.

My coffee of choice recently has been Vietnamese coffee using Cafe du Monde (chicory blend) with sweetened condensed milk.

I do my best to find a local coffee shop that's willing to sell me smaller quantities of whole bean coffee. I just do a double shot of espresso in the morning so a quarter pound lasts me around 10 days or so -- right around the longest you should be keeping coffee anyways.

When I lived in Columbus, OH my go to coffee was a Viennese Costa Rican from Stauf's. A nice dark roast that just looked and smelled wonderful. They'd often have smaller batches of stuff and if something smelled good, I'd happily try it out. Now in NYC I get my coffee from Porto Rico, their French Mocha Java. It's a tiny bit lighter than most French roasts and a consistent classic blend.

Again, I do espresso so my tastes trend darker than most. It's weird that I'm such a coffee snob when my daily habit runs less than $0.25 a fix.

My last three bags were Magnum Jamaican Blue Mountain blend whole bean from Costco. $10 for two pounds is pretty good. The beans aren't overly oily so I can pour it straight into my super automatic espresso machine without worrying about the oil clogging up my machine.

My wife and I toured the Blue Mountain coffee plantations while on our honeymoon in Jamaica. BEST coffee ever! But the stuff is life $30/pound back here in the states. We paid $10/pound on the mountain and wished we'd bough more when we returned home.

Wheres the best place to get Blue Mountain coffee?
 
Allegro (Whole Foods brand) Bel Canto. Espresso roast, prepared in my machine. It's decent, but not a great value.

I have to be honest. There is one extremely good "hidden gem" in Safeway, if you're into finding those sorts of things. Safeway Select espresso roast, in the black bag. It's up there with some of the best espresso I've had, and definitely the best coffee I've ever bought in a supermarket/grocery store of any sort.
