I've been brewing my cup with a Hario vacuum pot for years now, and it makes a superb product.
I get my beans (green) from Sweetmarias.com and roast them myself with a Fresh Roast coffee roaster.
Whether you use a vac pot, a French press, or some other method, if you haven't made a fresh cup of coffee using freshly roasted beans from a good source, you haven't had a worthy cup of joe...

Since i'm a tea drinker i was staying away from this thread, but thought i'd stop by anyways. i love the smell of coffee, my problem has always been that the taste doesn't quite live up to the smell so it's kind of an anticlimactic experience.
But I'm determined one of these days to try a really good coffee. It's too bad I missed my chance when I lived in Italy, still remember the bartender rolling his eyes everytime I asked for tea with lemon.
So, what would you guys suggest I have, so that I can experience the real good taste of coffee. I guess the type I'm asking about - espresso?
May be to help with further specifying my taste - I like hot chocolate, but a good one only. And from chocolate bars, high-cocoa content, preferably single origin. Not big fan of the milky stuff anymore, it's been a while since I was a child

Fresh ground Colombian Supremo sweetened with brown sugar...That's the only way I drink my coffee anymore. Yeah, once in a while I'll mix it up on the beans however, the brown sugar is a constant. Oh, and my wife bought me some of this a year or two ago

I gotta say that it was some of the best damn coffee I've ever experienced and I've had lots of different kinds.

Starbucks serves liquid road tar, McDonalds is mud and drunken donuts, the cup tastes better. You guys should really give some good artisan fresh roasted and properly prepared coffee a try. I have a coffee roaster, Faema two group commercial espresso machine, two old school Gaggia lever espresso machines(Factory and Achille), a single group Elektra A3 espresso machine, another Vibiemme Domobar Super in my office, a rebuilt and plumbed Bunn brewer, two La Cimbali Max commercial conical grinders and one Cimbali Jr burr grinder. All to make 5 two ounce drinks.
You should visit the link in my sig line. That is my second home. Any of our sponsor roasters are top notch, some of which have been mentioned already.
