Well - this board has already cost me a fortune in cigar expenditures - now I am ordering a coffe press from black dog. Since I'm in need of yet another continuing habit - what coffee would those of you who drink black dog recommend starting out with - I generally drink a fairly strong coffee in the morning.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Taking the plunge

oh, and by the way, sorry to hear, but glad to hear at the same time. Brian is a very bad man...watch out for the Black Dog!

The Ethiopian is definitely one of the most popular but most don't consider it a "strong" coffee. It's a lighter roast but has a very complex, layered flavor profile.
The Sumatra is the darkest roast of the current offerings and has a bold, earthy flavor. This one is popular with people who are used to the coffees from the big chain shops. It's not roasted as dark as those though, since I feel they burn the best stuff out of the coffee.
If you're new to single origin coffees, I'd recommend that you start with the Guatemala Huehuetenango. It's a medium roasted coffee with a flavor profile that is more recognizable to many folks who have grown up on Central/South American coffees but I think you'll find it to be richer and much more flavorful.
