Which coffee beans?

[gmoreno]

Ok I bought my self an espresso machine. I plan to experiment a bit and try to make some of my favorite drinks. In your opinion what are the best coffee beans for espressos or mochas? Here where I live I have access to purchase seattle's best, starbucks, java city coffe beans and others aswell.

Try coffee beans from Africa. I've had one brand (can't remember the name) and it was outstanding compared to the columbian stuff we are so use to.

Sumatra. And there is Sumatra. Don't forget about Sumatra either. And - If I am feeling I really need something special I will get some Sumatra.

Entertianing a date? Sumatra.

Need to stay awake for several days? Sumatra.

Need that coffee that leaves no doubt you are drinking coffee? Sumatra.

Let me know if ya need any more input from me.

Sumatra comes from an island in the Indian ocean in case you were concerned it if was Columbia.

Oh hey I know that kind! Yeah they put it in the machines at work. Tastes like 100% genuine columbian dirt, and gives me little sores on my tongue.

I still drink it tho
