What location grows your favorite taste. I like the Rwandan, The Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee. A portion of the proceeds go to help Rwanda continue to recover from mass genocide.

Gotta to go with Columbia right now.  I drink those green mountain coffees at work and go for the Columbia Sumpremo.  I also buy the Starbucks Columbia from the grocery store.  I ahve a lot to learn in the coffee field though.

So hard to say.  My absolute favorite bean I ever had was from Bolivia.  However I find myself drinking Costa Ricans the most.   The La Minta I have now is really remarkable.....then again a good blue mountain is tough to beat when roasted right.....and you can forget the Kenyn AAAs that come around they are fantastic too.. I used to be able to get  Cuban beans and their pretty special..and.....and....and it goes on and on

I chose Island Property, because my all-time favorite coffee is the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica.  I seriously need to get my hands on some of that stuff really soon!  I'm really starting to get ansy for it!

What a spread of tastes! That blue Mtn rocks. I like kona on the regular also.

Does Indonesia count as other or island?

USA.  I'm too poor for imported stuff.

Grocery store ........ to be honest I never give too much thought where the beans are from, well that would be my wife (not me) since I don't shop for grocerys.

My favorite is a blend from Peet's coffee - Major Dickason's.  Buy it, you'll like it.
"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'" -Jack Handy

Wish I could afford 100% Kona coffee but the Millstone blend isn't bad.




If I did this whats the worst that could happen?

Indonesia, either Java or Sumatra

Kenya comes in next.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

I like the fuller bodied coffees like Sumatran or Kenyan, although I seem to be on a never ending quest for the perfect cup.

I love me some good Kenya or Ethiopia coffee.  I picked up some Bali coffee from a local roaster that was out of this world.  It tasted like blueberries and cognac.

I like that Kona coffee from Hawaii. The Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee is good too

I really love a good Guatemalan coffee.  This is generally more available as greens typically found in farm direct lots.

Otter

For me 100% Kona is outstanding when I can get it, otherwise I go with Sumatran.
