What's kind of fun is to buy the green beans (e.g. from sweetmarias.com
in emeryville) and roast them yourself.  And quality coffee is way cheaper
that way.  Tastes do vary, of course- I personally don't see the attraction
of the African coffees- I mix sumatra, mexican, and kona myself.  Sumatra
for robust flavor, mexican or central american for an acidic bite, and kona
for lasting warmth.
