What coffee did you drink today?

Started the day with my home roasted Ethiopian.
Now at the end of the work day, I'm suffering through a pot of office coffee. Folger's brewed with tap water. It's better than the Keurig coffee maker sitting next to it, but not by much.

I found with office coffee, that if I double bagged it, it was much better. I haven't had to suffer through office coffee for a few years, thank god!

Our office isn't using the premeasured bags, so I can make it strong as necessary....and it will jump start a dead car.
Unfortunately, it just isn't as tasty as fresh light roasted beans.
 
Can anyone recommend some whole bean coffee that’s strong on taste but light in acidity ?
 
You guys have some pretty exotic stuff that I've never heard of. Is there a bag of something that I could order that everyone would agree is a favorite go-to? I've tried a few bags of BRCC without any wow happening, and my normal fallback has been caribou daybreak. I use a french press, and drink it either black, or I add a little honey and a splash of oat milk.
 
Home roasted Ethiopian.
I'm experimenting with an even lighter roast profile.

Where are you located? I'd seek out a local roaster of quality coffees and experiment there. If you don't have anything local, any of the coffees that I post are from all over the country that are shipped to me. Reading about your regular coffee, it reports to be a lighter roast with coffees from Ethiopia and Latin America. Definitely some good starting points for some single origins imho.

Minnesota. There isn't anything local in my small town, but there's a place a few towns over that roasts, and i've ordered from them before for a coffee infused beer that I did. They have this to offer, which is exactly what I was looking for after doing a little reading into Ethiopian coffee. Yirgacheffe and washed. LINK HERE Thoughts?

Otherwise I was just going to order something off amazon to try. Once I find something I like that actually excites me to want to make it, I may go a step deeper and experiment with roasting and grinding at home. I just don't need this to turn into another 10 year adventure of mediocre results before it finally gets GOOD when I could have just bought quality at the store for a fraction of the price (example: home brewing)

That looks like it will be tasty! The link popped up with a grind selected - are you ordering the coffee ground or whole bean? If you don't grind your own, I'd definitely add that to your process.
