I could be considered a coffee snob.. I don't own an electric coffee maker like a Mr Coffee, or Kuerig.. I use an Aeropress, a French press, a Vacuum brewer, a Kalita pour over cone, or a Moka pot....
I grind my beans just before use..... And primarily buy beans from the 6 or so small batch roasters near me... I was recently in
Flux Coffee, and passed on making a purchase because all they had was light roast or medium light roast coffee...
I like darker roasts... Not Espresso roast... sort of City Roast or City+ I just picked up a pound of City Roast Sumatra/Kenya Blend for $18 from Sergios in Babylon
My little ritual, put some water on to boil, weigh and grind beans(hand ground).. I usually use an Aeropress... French press or Pour over if I'm making more than one cup. I weigh
the water.. and vary steep time until I find what works for the beans I have...
A little OCD... but I just drink one cup a day..
Interestingly, Starbucks was sort of a spin-off of Peets..

Peets offers a number of whole bean coffees..
Peets whole bean, as does Starbucks
Starbucks whole bean
Further a few years ago I dated a woman who had been a barista at Starbucks..she told me at any given moment there are 3-5 types of beans in use every day i.e. you can get a pour over of Pike... or whatever blend or single origin they are featuring.
