Cool thread.  The cafe downstairs at work switched from Starbucks to
Seattle's Best, and I like it a lot better.  I get the
vanilla-flavored brew once in a while.  In general I've been trying to
cut back on coffee at work and get more sleep.

For home, we have been happy with Equal Exchange.  Our church sells it
whole bean or pre-ground.  http://www.equalexchange.coop/  I also got
some other brew from My Organic Market in Alexandria recently but I
can't remember what it is.
