    The H-E-B coffees are pretty good... we like the San Antonio and Austin blends along with the Texas Pecan.

    Over the years I've acquired pretty much every type of coffee making apparatus known to man - drip, pour over, French press, Keurig, Nespresso, and the list goes on. It's quite evident I have a minor obsession. At the moment my commercial-grade Bunn is the primary, but I still do French press every now and then. Just this weekend I added a Clever dripper to the repertoire, so I'm sure that'll get some good use for those quick afternoon pick-me-ups. As far as coffee is concerned, lately I've been a big fan of Ruta Maya brand that I get from Costco. It's dark, not overly rich and it comes freshly roasted. Another brand, Fresh Roasted Coffee, has a Mexican blend that's quite excellent, too.

    I’m sure we could get you into a program to correct this behavior.

    I’m a Keurig user but only one cup a day of Starbucks Pikes Place Roast.

    @bull0120 seems like a nice guy. We've all enjoyed his TRs. For his sake, we should consider a VMB intervention.

    I don’t often do flavored coffees but the San Antonio blend is on point.

    Before the last good coffee source closes for the day I fill a thermos for the next morning.

    My wife and I have been working from home since March and the coffee consumption in the house has gone through the roof! We have an espresso machine (Breville) and were switching between that and using the french press. I've since bought a pour over as I hate cleaning the french press and have been using that more than anything else. We buy whole beans and grind them ourselves. When we're feeling a little lazy, we go to our stash of Starbucks VIA packets which we have as backups.
