My most recent coffees. The Black Rifle stuff is amazing. This one is whole bean. Luckily we found the top to our coffee grinder so we can grind it up. We got it at Ace Hardware they are the only ones around who sell it that we have found. This one looked interesting so we tried it. Then some good ole Folgers classic roast and some Special Roast which is really good but not as powerful as the country roast when it comes to waking you up lol.
Lately tim hortons dark roast

Just received an order from Peet's about an hour ago. My general routine is to make a cup of French press in the morning and then during the day grab a short cup of Nespresso. About 1/3 of the time in the AM I'll have tea instead of coffee. There are several of Peet's blends that I like, and so my orders vary.

You ain't kiddin', that's a great deal. I have the cup one and paid $219 five years ago.
I've gone full half caf. 
Good light medium roast Brazil mixed with good swiss water decaf beans - varies sometimes even espresso beans. Mix the beans whole then grind as needed.
Gold sieve pour over.
Add some organic cocoa powder.
Maybe Whole Earth sweetener, half and half

I drink so much coffee now that I buy whatever I can find onsale. Lately, it is Peet's Major Dickason's K-Cups. Also, have some Folgers and Maxwell House from Costco. I can't always be picky. Last year I was able to get some Peet's K-Cups extremely cheap so I tried a ****load of different ones including CHalet Blend, Sumatra, Brazil, Guatamala, House Blend, French Roast, Organic Alma De La Tierra, Cafe Domingo, Big Bang and Holiday Blend. I liked the House Blend, Chalet Belnd, Holiday Blend, Cafe Domingo and Big Bang. The others we just ok to me but I end up with the Major most frequently since we like it and I can usually find deals. I did have another organic Peet's but it wasn't a K-Cup and I don't remember exactly what it was but it was good. I actually prefer the Major ground over the K-Cup but beggars can't be choosers! I did buy myself some Shoprite Columbian blend and I hated it. I also can deal with Green Mountain Dark Magic.
And that’s a good price too. Those are 2 pound bags if my eyes are reading correctly. Coffee prices like most everything else have gone up.

Amazon auto ship on this stuff for a few years now.
I picked up a bag of this along with some others.

It’s a blend of beans from Brazil, PPG, Sumatra and Tanzania so a wide world presence. A nice dark roast. The taste is sweet but not overpowering. I used a coarse grind for pour over and a bit lower water temperature.
Rogue by Dillanos Coffee Roasters
Rogue is a medium-dark blend of coffees from four of the most popular growing regions across the globe. It has a light body, toasted aroma and a lasting, sweet and smoky taste.

Cafe Bustelo for me too. I like the fine, almost powder like grind it has. You get a lot of mileage out of that coffee. And it has a nice mellow flavor.
Both of these are locally roasted in Anchorage.
From a local roaster called SteamDot, we've been recently buying their whole bean coffee at Costco. It's good and the price is right.

Also at Costco and Walmart, we occasionally buy my absolute favorite Silverhook Alaska Coffee in their Kodiak blend. It's organic deliciousness and NOT over-roasted!

Some fun ones above!
We try different kinds all the time (tried Kicking Horse mentioned above which was great but not easily available here). My current favorite is actually "True Blue" from local Blue State Coffee Roasters. Dark roast with high caffeine level, medium grind and auto drip or pourover. Also great is super-dark "Fogbuster" (formerly from Dean's beans but they changed their name to match their best selling blend).
