What location grows your favorite taste. I like the Rwandan, The Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee. A portion of the proceeds go to help Rwanda continue to recover from mass genocide.

Gotta to go with Columbia right now. I drink those green mountain coffees at work and go for the Columbia Sumpremo. I also buy the Starbucks Columbia from the grocery store. I ahve a lot to learn in the coffee field though.

So hard to say. My absolute favorite bean I ever had was from Bolivia. However I find myself drinking Costa Ricans the most. The La Minta I have now is really remarkable.....then again a good blue mountain is tough to beat when roasted right.....and you can forget the Kenyn AAAs that come around they are fantastic too.. I used to be able to get Cuban beans and their pretty special..and.....and....and it goes on and on
I chose Island Property, because my all-time favorite coffee is the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica. I seriously need to get my hands on some of that stuff really soon! I'm really starting to get ansy for it!
What a spread of tastes! That blue Mtn rocks. I like kona on the regular also.

Most of the coffee I drink is columbian, so I say columbia.

Thanks guys, Im having a great time. My girlfriend always wonders what Im doing on the computer. She askes if I have found a new love, and now I can tell her yes. :bigthumbs:
Does Indonesia count as other or island?
USA. I'm too poor for imported stuff.
Grocery store ........ to be honest I never give too much thought where the beans are from, well that would be my wife (not me) since I don't shop for grocerys.
Huge fan of the Blue Mountain & Cubita both "Island" coffees
My favorite is a blend from Peet's coffee - Major Dickason's. Buy it, you'll like it.
Wish I could afford 100% Kona coffee but the Millstone blend isn't bad.
Indonesia, either Java or Sumatra
Kenya comes in next.
I like the fuller bodied coffees like Sumatran or Kenyan, although I seem to be on a never ending quest for the perfect cup.
I'm a fan of the Ethiopian beans.
I love me some good Kenya or Ethiopia coffee. I picked up some Bali coffee from a local roaster that was out of this world. It tasted like blueberries and cognac.

I like that Kona coffee from Hawaii. The Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee is good too
I really love a good Guatemalan coffee. This is generally more available as greens typically found in farm direct lots.
.40
Delmonte's Green, french cut :-)
when its available we buy some beans sold as "tip of the Andes". its what all coffe should be
For me 100% Kona is outstanding when I can get it, otherwise I go with Sumatran.
Costa Rican.
I love blue mountain coffee from Jamaica. But I'm also a huge fan of Cafe Du Monde Coffee &
Chicory.

I concur with Longhorn
Guatemala and Columbia for me
Brazil. and dark roasted.
Like Jackal and Mozwik, I like the Indonesians, like Sumatra, Jave, Bali. I've also been digging some of the Espresso blends Sweet Marias has: #25, Monkey, brewed thru my Techni Vurm
I love coffee, yes. From where? Kona is tough to beat, but I am not too picky, as long as it is fresh. Now, I have had my share of cups o' mud, but I love coffee. Did I mention that I love coffee? Coffee, coffee coffee. WEEEEEEEE! :biggrin: :crazy:
Not 100% sure but gonna have to go with Guatemalen here... Unfortunately, though, the Germans just implemented a new mailing rule, no more importing of Coffee Beans or Tobacco or they just confiscate them... Bummer on the coffee because I used to order mine from coffebeandirect. Cigars... meh... they're just hobby supplies... :biggrin:

I love Colombian but have recently been on the Sumatra train. It's full in body, a bit sweet, and not a bit of bitterness
I drink Jeremiah's Pick Fog Buster, the beans are grown in Chiapas, Mexico.

Coffee, like cigars, I could tell you the brands and/or flavors I like, but I never pay that much attention to country of origin. I like variety too, so to have a favorite is hard to say. I do like Kona, thats for sure. Sumatran is good. Columbian is a staple really. Hard to say. Good thread to come back up.
Tarrazu coffee from Costa Rica.
I love being in Cafe Du Monde Coffee at costa rica.
Jelly Belly
Mine is from brazil
kona for sure though i do like chicory as well.
I drink Bustelo cafe its originally from Cuba, now made in Miami, Florida.
Cliche or not, i like the Blue Mtn. beans.
Also some Kenyan and Hawaian.
For the past two days I've been drinking Clydesdale Estate Blue Mountain City+ Roast! It was roasted on monday, and it showed up yesterday! Can't beat a fresh roast! :) I just bought 6 types of beans w/ various roasts. I'm going to put what I wont be able to drink in the next two weeks in freezer bags, put the freezer bags in quart sized mason jars and freeze them to keep them fresh for at least 6 weeks. In the past, I used to let my beans go stale unknowingly (because I was buying in bulk to save money apprx 2.5lbs at a time), but once you know better, you do better.
I really enjoy Costa Rica's Monte Crisol but also the beans of that ISOM.
I like so many beans.
Jams
Bali
Papua
Kenyan
Hawaian
Galapagos when i find them
i home roast
