I have a fully automatic espresso machine, so we use whole beans, particularly, dark roasts, like Sumatra or a good french roast, as long as it a has a bite.  Not too fond of Central American blends, although, my favorite is Guatemala.  I also, love using the french press pot.  Especially, when its colder outside, so I can savor the brew.  Not much of a Latte/Cappuccino guy, unless its for company.  I can make a great creamy peppermint latte for the holidays.

I also, when time permits will roast my own coffee beans.  It's a lot of fun and you can create your own roasts, blends, and add more robusta beans for a higher c affine content.

thanks for the add man!

where is that castle.
