You're lucky, Scott, to have them down the road. I have to say, though, real coffee geeks roast their own. I get my green beans from <http://www.sweetmarias.com>.

Sitting here sipping my latest house blend. (No, I can't tell you what's in it-I'd have to kill myself! Let's just say that there are three continents involved...)

 I strongly dislike Starbuck's coffee. They over roast the beans to achieve
 better shelf life resulting in a more acrid "flavor", if you can call it
 that. One of my foofoo friends who says that he prefers Starbuck's, claims
 that good coffee is an "acquired taste." I say this explains why some folks
 drink Budweiser and proves that humans can adapt to anything, even sh*t and
 piss.

Agreed. 100%. I can burn coffee at home. No chance in hell I'm paying $5 a cup for it.

Just down the road from me a few miles is Greencastle Coffee Roasters.
 They roast everything in antique roasters.  The owner was in front of
his shop replacing the belt on one of them Saturday and I was staring
at the scene wishing I hadn't left my camera at home.  Anyway, I buy
all my coffee there these days.  Should any of you decide to partake,
I don't think you'll be disappointed.
