    I have a few cups left on my 8:00 decaf. First time I tried it-nice.

    Any of the dark roasts or the decaf from Kicking Horse are pretty standard for us. I wait for it to go on sale and load up. Used to drink Doi Chang, but it disappeared from the grocery stores we shop at.

    I haven't had any Peets in a dog's age, but I remember it being excellent. Tim Hortons is good as well.

    This morning I had one kcup of New England Coffee French Roast and Colombian Supremo, mixed that is. I really like the both of them, but the Colombian is tad weak, and the French a tad bit stronger, but they mix well.

    This morning it was McCafe brand.
    It is cheaper than the other variety that I buy (cafe Bustello) and little acidity to it.
    It's a great week day coffee.

    Bustelo Expresso Style. Bustelo Colombian if I can get it which I usually can't.

    I've been sticking with the Java Love Bad Ass Blend for french press. And I've been drinking the Green Mountain Doughnut Shop Medium K cups when too lazy to brew my own. A friend brought over some Unique Coffee Roasters Sunset Blend that he pre-ground for espresso. I don't have an espresso machine so I put some in my Bialetti Moka Pot and made some of the best coffee I've ever tasted from my Moka Pot. I'm done with the heavy and way too bitter Italian Roasts for that device.

    Go to mCoffeebeaned.com. Click on "Coffee Roasters". Click on United States roasters. Click on your state, it has a list of coffee roasters for each state and you may find one locally you never knew existed. I found this to be very useful.

    Type the website address (or whatever text you want to be shown instead like "click here") as you've already done. Then highlight it with the cursor. Then, with that text still highlighted, click on the icon that looks like a chain link (the one without the x). A box will pop up. In that box enter the url (you don't need to include http://). Press insert and you now have a live link in your post.

    Finish up anything else that you want to say and post as normal. Et voilà!

    What a great tool. While I found that I already am buying beans from the closest roaster to me, it's nice to be able to confirm that I've made the right choice. Thanks for posting such a great website.

    Yes it is a cool tool. However one of the links I clicked on seemed like a bogus link, keeps forwarding me to other non-coffee sites.

    Also would be more useful if they would list the addresses up front and/or had a map view. For Arizona there are 57 listed, of those 57 the majority are probably over 3 hours away. Not really useful if you have to click on 57 (possibly bogus) links to find maybe 5 that are within an hour from you. I'd rather just use Google at that point....

    There is a map view. I was able to see all the roasters in New Jersey at once and then zoom in on those in my area.

    I never saw the map view until your post. That makes it even better, thanks! :signs107:
