Has the Discussion on the best coffee taken place?

[Silencio]

I have a hard time justifying mail-order beans, but should give some a shot one day. But there are plenty of good local roasters for me to choose from already, and Trader Joe's whole bean coffees are a staple (love the Fair Trade Nicaraguan!).

I'm also a French Presser. A little more labor-intensive, but yields such satisfying coffee. Been considering trying out one of those vacuum pots because they're so wild-looking and supposedly produce coffee in the same league as a French Press.
