Ask HN: What is your favorite brand of coffee?

I like Intelligentsia, which has roasting facilities (and coffee bars) in Chicago and Los Angeles. They do a lot of single origin coffees from Central America.
Probably not available in many locations, so as a fallback, I'd agree with cpr on Peet's (I have their Arabian Mocha Java for espresso at home right now). Illy is a good option as well.

+1.
Also I feel like HN would enjoy these videos where you can see their craftsmanship at work.

Those videos were great. This place looks like a fun place to hang out. Using the science equipment to make coffee seems real unique. If one of these were close to me, I would go for sure.
Eight O'Clock. I'll usually have two or three bags at the house (don't want to run out!) and I've found that by mixing 100% Columbian, the Original, and Dark Italian I can 'tune' the flavor exactly. A fun way to make great coffee at half price.

12th Avenue looks like a fun place. With all of the roasting equipment and taste testing going on there it seems like it would be a fun destination. Have you ever been to this one?

If your work would stock any coffee you wanted, what would it be?
