The best beans are fresh locally roasted beans. any large nation wide roaster cant roast specifically for your local water chemistry, which is pretty important for a good cup considering it makes up 98% of it. local roasters use the same water you do when brewing, so it will be consistent with how the roaster wants it to taste.

Never thought of this. That explains why after trying the coffees from most Sofia roasters (soft water), I always come back to my local roaster's (coastal area, hard water). Although they taste even better with homemade barista water! 😅
Barista water?
Really useful if the water in your area is hard. It makes a lot of difference in the taste.
I’m a big fan of McCafé. It used to be much cheaper before Covid but so was everything. I prefer it over most of the pricier stuff.
My buddies love black rifle but it’s definitely not budget.
I won't buy Black Rifle because of... how they are... outside of their coffee...
