    My wife’s niece and husband were in town this weekend, so I roasted some of my personal favorite beans (as of late) to share with them. QT Shopping LLC Himalayan Arabica, grown in Nepal. Only coffee grown outside the coffee belt and also the highest elevation grown coffee in the world.

    Taste wise, very similar to Jamaican Blue Mountain, with slightly less acidity.

    That Onyx looks nice. I honestly haven’t expanded beyond my local roasters but maybe I will try mail ordering a bag for once. Speaking of local roasters though (I’m in Portland), this is one of my go-to coffees: https://shop.coavacoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/kilenso

    I also like Kalita Wave, but tend to default to V60 because my Wave is the 1-cup size and I’m usually brewing for my partner too :) That said I also switch off between paper V60 and a metal cone (made by Coava actually… yeah I like those folks).

      Is this the metal cone filter you’re talking about? I find I vastly prefer the taste of coffee brewed with a metal filter to paper, but the only metal filters I have are single cup. I’m also usually brewing for two, so I’m very interested in one that’ll fit my Bodum Chemex knockoff!

        Alright, I just ordered two bags from Onyx (the Burundi, and the Geometry). Can’t wait! Thanks for the recommendation.

    For good but relatively cheap in the U.S.: Whole Foods Pacific Rim/Vienna Roast. It’s dark but not burned-tasting. Brews up beautifully in a French press.

    Ha, I’d just suggested to [email protected] that we should have regular bean recommendation threads right before I saw your post! I think it’s a great idea, and we should do it regularly :)

    Recently tried Taylor’s Colombian San Sebastian beans. I wasn’t expecting too much but for $8/225g it specified a collective of farmers and was roasted fairly light. (Package said light, but definitely more of a medium). Tasted pretty unique too with some acidity.

      Especially recently with inflation, a cheap good bag of coffee is starting to become harder to get. At least in the states at the moment.

    I got the mystery beans from Foundry in the UK. It seems to be a natural process if some kind with tiny little beans. The ferments notes work especially well as espresso.

    Do you mean coffee bean from the US? I live in Indonesia, and I do have a lot of recommendations. But I don’t know whether they can ship it to US.
