Irish and I have become coffee snobs thanks to our Seattle son! We have the bur grinder, water kettle, pour over style and Aeropress. That being said, I subscribe to organic beans from Java Planet out of Tampa. They have single origin, freshly roasted beans to choose from. It's a little painful cost-wise. But since we are typically one cup a day each, I justify the joy that one delicious perfect cup brings. Just received one pound each, (not 12 oz), Papua New Guinea and Ethiopian. You CAN tell a difference in the fresh roasted because when coffee prices shot up recently, I went to Aldi and bought their organic beans, substantially cheaper, and they did not compare.
