Coffee snobs, what do you drink?

Agreed. Have you ever tried Harrar on Georgia Ave? They roast fresh there, and have several heirloom varieties. It's a little pricey but makes a great cold brew.

Lately we’ve been getting Beanetics, which is in roasted in Annandale. We had been buying Stumptown for a long time but decided to try some thing local and I actually like it better. My favorite is the Bali Blue Moon.

I love African coffees! If you like Ethiopian, tryRwanda, Kenya and Ugandan.

I don't get how people who consider themselves coffee snobs do dark roast... That destroys a lot of the flavor and makes it bitter and burnt tasting.

I was a would-be coffee snob for a few months, buying freshly roasted and ground single-origin and blends from local shops, and trying Atlas Coffee Club. Turns out what I like most are the cheaper finely ground blends with some robusta, like Lavazza Classico and Melitta Classic Blend (which doesn't explicitly say it has robusta, but also doesn't say 100% arabica). I also got tired of standing over a pourover cone, and switched to the "OXO Brew Pour-Over Coffee Maker with Water Tank". The tank on top of the cone changes it from a pourover to, in essence, a little $15 coffee maker that's automatic except for the fact that you pour in boiling water rather than cold water.

Medium roast doesn't come through on a cold brew. For pour-over or french press I'm with you. But I'm 99% cold brew now, so tut tut

I like Swift River Roastery in Maine as Pipers Tea & Coffee in Paducah.

We get coffee most coffee from Grounds for Change.

You can have so much fun trying new coffees like http://waialuaestate.com/coffee/

A lot of ours are one-off because we're just enjoying exploring things like geisha, etc. There are some unique varieties from Uganda I'd like but haven't found a source yet short of going to visit. If you want the names, they are all listed on the Slow Food's Ark of Taste.

+1 for Zeke's, my favorites are the Ethiopian Kembata and the Mexican Chipas. The Chipas is available at Whole Foods.
