I went through several bags of 8 O'Clock. It was good, and cheap, but not quite what I like. I don't have a problem with cheap coffee if it's good and the style I like; the 8 O'Clock just wasn't quite the thing. There's a Seattle's Best roast that I like a lot that frequently goes on sale for a good price. I cringe that it's "Seattle's" best, because being a Portlander I have to have that attitude. But whatever. It's good. I'm trying a Trader Joe's roast right now that is VERY good but a little more expensive than I usually spend. I just need to get a solution worked out for my roaster so I can do my own more consistently. Ever since I turned my workshop into my study for school I have been reluctant to roast beans in there - it gets VERY stinky!
