Long ago we liked the Community Chicory blend.... I think they called it New Orleans Blend, but, maybe not.
These days we like the Sumatran stuff, from Sprouts, espresso grind, brewed in a Bialetti. I take it straight from the pot with a bit of sweetener, sometimes a dollop of half n half. Wife makes Americano out of it. Both happy.
I was on the road a few months ago and came up 2 days short on espresso for my travel size Bialetti. After turning down the hoidy-crafty stuff at Whole Foods, I stopped by a Food Lion and picked up a brick of Cafe Bustelo Espresso. If you like STRONG espresso, you'll like this stuff. Definitely what I would call a "Latin Roast". Very Cuban/Puerto Rican, IMO. I liked it a lot. Too strong for WifeGBiv. And bonus... It's cheap.

I never really got into the coffee scene. At work, we had one of those capsule machines with flavor combos that were not appealing. I drink NESCAFÉ CLASICO Dark Roast Instant Coffee. I also put a teaspoon of dark chocolate cocoa in the cup and just hot water. Works for me.
In a world with Diet Coke, why do you need coffee?
Coffee is something I can only drink if I’m really cold. Some of my favorite coffee is basically a small step above cheap gas station stuff.
I did enjoy going to a Mexican restaurant in the past that would give me coffee and sweat bread before my meal came out.
