I'm sick of keurig coffees and looking for some recommendations on good coffee brands. I'm a coffee newb and trust y'alls opinions more than most.

World's best espresso (or something along those lines) by Klatch Coffee is a very good bean. Very fresh too when you order from them. Only issue is it is sometimes not available (they run out I believe).

The easiest flip you will ever make. I thrifted mine, got to the car and cut them with the keys and took em to a Jeweler and got like 5 bills on the spot. Mine were 18 but I only had like 4 or 5 or something, couple missing.

Hmmm - good idea. These are all 14k gold-filled and I was gonna flip 'em on eBay but might be easier & faster to just sell for melt value. The buttons retail for $700 per set and the links for around $275, so ~ $3k retail...wonder what the melt value would be tho - surely way less than retail. ?? Either way I gotta get rid of some of these sets - I have 13 more sets but they're just the normal gold plate.

I love my coffee subscription to tonx/blue bottle. Fresh roasted coffee right to your mailbox. They roast on Sunday, and ship Monday. Flexible frequency and amounts. New coffee every round.

Blue Bottle

My advice would be to try some of the local roasters in San Diego. There have to be some good ones, and you'll save on shipping over mail order.

I've traveled a lot, and have yet to discover any coffee that is substantially better than what I can find two miles from my front door (this goes for every place I have lived since I started drinking coffee), and I'm a coffee snob. Granted, I do live in a foodie paradise... But any big city should have enough of this to have good coffee. The problem with mail order, if you're a coffee n00b is that you're going to spend a lot of money to figure out what you like best. Start local, and once you know what varietals you like, try some of the top brands.

That said, here are my favorite roasters (most of which offer mail order), with the first eight in the list being my favorites in order:

Chromatic (Santa Clara, CA)
Zoka Coffee Roasters (Seattle)
Elysian Room (Vancouver, BC)
Four Barrel (San Francisco)
Blue Bottle (San Francisco)
Stumptown (Portland, OR)
Crema (Nashville)
Corvus (Denver)
Philz (San Francisco)
Nova (Denver) -this is where my local coffee shop gets their beans
Barefoot (San Jose, CA)
Black Sheep (Bishop, CA)
Intelligentsia (Chicago)
Milagro (Alamosa, CO)

@Fueco Much obliged. That sounds like a good idea.

On the slight coffee derailment note...

I'm a fan of good coffee when I'm out but always (lazily) default to K-cups at home mainly because I don't have a grinder. I've got a french press but does anyone have a recommendation for a nice middle of the road burr grinder? Shoot me a PM if you don't want to get another coffee discuss started here.

Thanks

Haven't been out too much recently but here are a couple things
Samuelsohns x 4
from left right - Linen size 35, Blue Wool 35, Grey wool 35, Charcoal Flannel 35
Polo Corn - charcoal flannel size 38



Patagonia Red/Purple vest, US made. Kept me hella warm during a run last week, would have sworn it was down.



No idea if this is at all interesting but thought I'd post a pic. Probably the oldest new in box shirt I've ever seen.
