I’m beginning to take an interest in coffe, any tips for the beginning connoisseur?
My roomate bought me some Jamaican Blue Mountain for my birthday and oh my god it was an experience in iteself….from my $12 Mr. Coffee!
I’m going to begin sampling coffee from different regions, I just bought a bag from beans collected in Kenya and it’s great!
So, what do I replace my Mr. Coffee coffee maker with? A french press perhaps?
Any store you recommend I buy my coffee from -that has a large selection. I went to ‘Whole Foods’ and was not impressed with the selection.
Thanks for your input!
Get a French Press – it stays truest to the flavor of the bean. In professional tastings, you taste the beans dry and crunchy and use a French Press. BTW in coffee tastings, like wine tastings – it is optional to swallow. 
It is nice to get maybe half a dozen coffees and try them out. Make it a party.
Buy whole beans and a grinder. That is one big way to get full flavor. Throw the coffee out after an hour. It starts to lose its body and flavor.
Whole Foods will not have the best selection – I would go online. Some big cities have independent coffee roasters (not as much now as in the 90s I might think) but the fresher the roast the better the flavor.
You want to be aware of the grade of beans and what country and plantation the beans come from. For a coffee tasting you want to stick with (if possible!) a single plantation per cup (or at least country), so you can compare and contrast. Central American beans tend to be more acidic and bright, Indonesian beans are earthier and fuller in flavor, etc. How dark coffee is roasted makes a difference in the char factor, but you want to stay with a medium roast for discerning regional flavors.
