Do you prefer the ones that just say "Dark Roast"? I'm trying the named ones like French Roast, Italian Roast, Espresso Roast, Sumatra. Do you like any of those?
Since I prefer dark roasts too I thought these two sites might give you some helpful info/explanations of the roasts by country:
Thanks, that was a very interesting read. I'm going to try some dark roast blends. I'm getting this one today from Dollar General:
I buy and open one bag at a time!
I still think you'd like a Keurig Coffee Maker. This one is only $59 at walmart.com
Or maybe a coffee grinder so you can grind a day or two of beans at a time. That way they stay much fresher and you can really taste the difference instead of buying ground coffee. The grinders are relatively inexpensive and range from $19.00 on up. I bought mine ages ago and it still works great.
Yeah, I put mine in in a little container and not just in the bag.I open only one at a time and keep it in an airtight container in the cabinet. I’m not gonna pretend that I have a well-developed palate, but I can definitely taste the difference between freshly opened coffee and coffee that’s been open awhile.
Oh, that would work too, and makes more sense for a true coffee connoisseur. which I definitely am not.Or maybe a coffee grinder so you can grind a day or two of beans at a time.

Yes, I should get a Keurig one of these days. I just wonder if the K-cups would be more expensive?
Oh yeah, good idea! Because they stay fresher in bean form. I forgot about that.
I actually did that! I had the empty canister from my medium roast and I threw the bag of French roast in there. I wasn't thinking about keeping it fresh, it was just easier to scoop. When I pull the scoop out of the small bag, the coffee flings everywhere.
Awww, hang around us long enough, we'll fix that.for a true coffee connoisseur. which I definitely am not.
That sounds so good. Maybe I'll have tea later. I like black tea because it tastes like coffee to me.
I mean, to be fair, that's the main reason I started doing that too. I use the little one of this set we got for our wedding. It holds a little bag of coffee amd a scoop perfectly, and much less messy than scooping out of the bag.
