My favorite is Jamaican Blue Mountain, followed by Hawaiian Kava Kan.
Can't get enough of this stuff.

Blue Mountain is over rated and way over priced. I went onto the plantation for a tour the last time I was in Jamaica and bought a few package to bring home. Tried it and did not find it to be anything special. Not worth the price I paid.
I found this Cuban coffee at 1/10 th the price of Blue Mountain and it is my favourite. I just purchase a few other coffees to try. I have been trying to support fair trade products lately.
What is the name of the Cuban brand?
BTW the coffee bought in Jamaica is shit. Their best leaves the country. I go to Jamaica 3-4 a year and the coffee I buy here is better than the one there. A local told me the best doesn't stay in Jamaica.
I like the Ethiopian beans from Merchants of Green Coffee, tucked away on a small street near Dundas and Broadview.
No absolute favourite bean, having tasted a couple of hundreds different ones over the years, but do enjoy Ethiopian Sidamo or Yirgacheffe, and Costa Rican Tarazzu, on a repeat basis and Paradiso medium roast at Second Cup, if I must. My best source is the Green Beanery on King St near Bathurst. If you call early in the morning, they will roast it the same day and you can pick it up or have it delivered, for a small fee of course. They claim to have the largest section in Canada.
Actually I would appreciate if you stay off my threads. I get a "Dhamer" vibe from you.
All 6 of them, many of which i haven't posted a single comment, wow.
I hear tweaking your meds can help with that. Not really wanting to hijack a thread, but exactly what in my post gives you the heebie jeebies.
Coffee Magic (Bay area company), a good bean grinder and a French Press... we have the best coffee in OH at our house. They ship.

Black, neat, no sugar.
Occasionaly, I add a pinch of cinnamon for the diabetes.
Anyone who is in the visinity of the St. LAwrence Market, please visit Everyday Gourmet Coffee, downstairs, across from Rube's Rice. They roast beans on the premises and have a ton of different beans from all over the world. One of my favourite blends is Muskoka Morning. I also like Cuban Serrano beans (maybe Arabica?) that they roast in their Izmir Turkey roaster. Heavenly and oily, like all good, fresh roasted coffee should be.
No longer indulge, but black coffee and brandy was pretty niceAMEN.
And while black coffee + scotch purists alike may scream sacrilege, they go surprisingly well together. Think of it as a non-dairy, more Northern European version of Baileys w/ coffee
On the one hand nobody overposts like blackrock. 21 per day every day. On the other hand there is a marked element of the truly abnoxious to many posts by paleofreak and they are sprinkled all over the place.
I take you mean obnoxious? Like wise old man.
BTW for those who PM'ed me about Jamaican etc.:

They have tons of good beans from around the world- try the Hawaiian one too. It's good. He's the cheapest and best I have found.
I will PM you with the brand.
The coffee I purchased at the plantation is the package for sale outside of Jamaica. In fact, you can buy it at the airport. I think it was $5 less if you buy it at the plantation. Needless to say, I will not buy it again.
If it is good beans, black definitely. If it is the Tim Hortons crap like coffee, lots of sugar and cream. Reason most people drink double double there.
