Due to increase in the cost of coffee and pods especially I am in the process of going to ground coffee and filling my own pods. I thought why not go all the way and get a grinder and also grind the coffee beans. Got my grinder and made my first cup of coffee today I used Peet's Major Dickason's Blend. So much better than what I have been drinking. I would like to try other beans and thought I would ask here what others are using. I like a bold flavor coffee that is smooth.

Tanzanian peaberry if you can find it. I get it at Whole Foods. Starbucks used to carry New Guinea peaberry beans but sadly no longer does. I'd serve a sample cup of the stuff and sell a bag of beans every time.

Try D’Amico Coffee in Brooklyn NY. They ship UPS. Been buying from them for 15 years.
Welcome to the club.
I keep one bag in the freezer and one fresh bag on the shelf.
I fill a glass or plastic air tight jar with beans and place the unused portion, in the freezer.
Enjoy.

Greenwell Farms City Roast. Go for the peaberry for a treat.

Eight o'clock, 100% Colombian peaks, whole bean, medium roast. The price is right at less than $15 for 33 ounces. It is 100% Arabica coffee.
The medium roast has winey notes and a rich, elegant aroma with a full-bodied finish.
I use bottled water (never tap) in a filtered drip coffee maker or a French press for only a couple cups.

I can remember grocery shopping with my mom at the A&P and she would fresh grind 8 o'clock coffee right there in the isle.
I also prefer a bold coffee, darker roast that is very smooth. My current favorite is the Steel Bridge blend from Black Rock. I pick up a bag when I stop at their coffee bars and also get it delivered from their website.
Eight o'clock coffee is well kept secret hiding in plain sight.
I just hope some youngster doesn't "discover " it and put it tok-tik
Eight o’clock original. Use “EZ Cup” pod with mini filters or the Keurig wire basket filter. Makes a great cup of coffee with out the expense of the pods
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Here's my EDC (every day cup).....

When I used to drink coffee I bought 8 o’clock Colombian peaks. Would always make it in my grandfather’s old percolator.
Rotary blades (like a blender) slice/chop the beans.
A burr grinder grinds/crushes the beans.
Those who enjoy coffee can taste a distinct difference between the coffee made using the different methods. I sure can and much prefer a burr grinder.

More minutia about the two types of grinders.

I prefer green coffee beans and roast them myself in an iron skillet. Roasted beans go stale pretty quickly so I only roast one cup of beans and that lasts a week. Wore out the burr grinder and use an electric now. Buy African peaberry beans where I can find them. Roast outside in the shed as the process really stinks up the place.

I like my coffee like my women: dark and bitter!
FYI fact: Fresh coffee beans produce gas. Thay's why coffee bags have those little plastic valves on them--to keep the bags from swelling up. Those nice vacuum-packed bricks of coffee are indicative of old, stale beans.
