[QUOTE="inactive, post: 2475104, member: 7488"] i like the Pike Place, and the Casi Cielo, but yea they are for the most part too acidic and over-roasted. How they get that much acid in a coffee that is that over roasted is beyond me. So one cup is my limit there. I don't like too light a roast (like their Blonde) as those are too fruity and acidic, but the oils that come out in their darker roasts are very off-putting and tear up my gut. I have 2-4 cups per day. My bag is Topeca, a local roaster here in Tulsa. They sell a cheap blend called Roughneck via Reasor's for 4 something per pound. It's not labeled with their name anywhere but they make it if you check the address on the packaging :) I get the light roast but brew it strong (1 measured cup - that is 8 volume ounces - of grounds per 12 "cup" pot) Best value in coffee out there. If I feel spendy, I spring for their Ayutepeque and grind it coarse for my french press. It's a very low acidity coffee and have some very good nutty notes without being overly burnt. After those cups, I switch to iced tea. Sometimes black, less often yerba mate, but usually green tea with some stevia. Green tea + stevia is like drinking 0 calorie candy. I have a quart of two of that a day. [/QUOTE]
