Looking for recommendations for good coffee beans. I save Charbucks for when I'm on the road but like more unique stuff at home. Just finished a bag of kicking horse 454 and it was pretty awesome.

Looks like you prefer dark roasts. Some Starbucks lighter roasts are good dark roast coffees! I personally prefer light roasts so I wouldn't be able to help you much.

Pike?

Maybe. Again, I don't really go for dark roasts so a lot will depend on taste.

Ive had some good coffee from kicking horse but I'd go somewhere where they roast the beans locally and start there.

Tasters choice!
Grew up on it... I’ll drink almost any kind of coffee but I always make sure to have a stash of tasters choice in my house

Nowadays just Nespresso. But a few years ago I liked Seattle's best. I think they may not be the same now, though

Hey! That has nothing to do with this.

Have me for a shabbos, and I'll show you how to drink.
And why do you think I collect miles? Just for the short trips to Canada.

Why to Canada? You can lose TSA pre by bringing in under 21.

Back to coffee, I have a cup of Starbucks (call me crazy) Pike Place in the morning, and a cup of (usually) Green Mountain Nantucket Blend in the afternoon.

The bags Starbucks sell aren't terrible. Their coffee they make in store generially is. If you want a good cup walk in, pick up a bag of Sumatra or their Guatemala blend and hand it to them and ask for a French press or pourover.
