Default Re: I'd like to try something really different.

I've always been a big fan of the Indonesian coffees. I like the smokiness (is that a word?). I drink Sumatran Mandheling most days, but when I can find the Celebes Toraja I get that.

Try roasting your own. You will be amazed at the increased quality of your cup o' Joe and the sky is the limit as far as something different. I promise you will never go back to buying pre-roast.

Get some whole bean coffee within a few days of it being roasted, and brew it in a French press or with a pour-over type drip brewer. Fresh coffee + proper water temperature = something very different from Maxwell House Lite. Since getting into coffee I've found that different batches of coffee will taste wildly different; the exact same beans can even taste very different depending on how they are roasted.

My intro to fresh coffee was through Killer Beans. I also found a local chain that fresh roasts twice a week and bought from them, too. I've been roasting my own for a while now, and love it.

Have fun trying new stuff!
