Great stuff
I'm not very picky or a gourmand, but I like pretty much any dark to medium dark roast with lots of creamer. I didn't realize how different people's tastes are or how strong my coffee was until I served it to a buddy who was visiting and he found it way too strong.
When we visited Canada about ten years ago now, some friends gave us coffee flavoured with vanilla and hazelnut. The beans are flavoured and you mix 'em 50/50 with regular beans when you grind 'em. Best coffee I ever tasted. Only problem is that you just can't get it here in the UK so we have a 6-7,000 mile round trip to make when we need to buy more coffee. Good excuse for a trip though ;)
I''m a bit bias. I owned a coffee house for a few years and am still partially involved in the business. We don't roast our own, yet, but we do buy from a local roaster who is very persnickety about his roasting and our brewing of his coffee. You can't beat fresh roasted, fresh ground coffee. Not to mention being nude while drinking it in the morning.
Years ago my wife and I were really into coffee. We'd buy different flavores of coffee beans and grind them at home for fresh brewed coffee. Now, Folger's Instant in the morning is all we drink.
Wow, I don't know how you do that. Going from fresh ground to instant, it's got to be like going from chef prepared sea bass to fish sticks.

It just got to be a time issue, plus we lost our coffee grinders in a house fire and just never got back into grinding the beans again. And i do like fish sticks.
