My wife and I both enjoy strong dark roast coffee in the morning. Espresso Roast is our favorite roast, but not by much. I grind the beans to a medium coarse size (4.5 out of 9 in a Kitchen Aid Pro burr grinder).
For years we have been drinking Verona coffee. We grind it as needed at home. This is a smooth coffee with really good taste. It is our must morning coffee!
I love having starbucks coffee while opening my email in the morning. it starts the day off for me. I make it with a dusting of cinnamon and a spoon of cacao powder,
This is the coffee blend I compare all the others to, On occasion it varies a little bit because it is a blend, If your go to every day coffee is a medium dark roast then this is it.
