I’ve been a coffee lover since I was a teenager. I don’t drink it as much as I used to, so as I’ve gotten older the quantity has given way to quality. My morning requires 2-3 cups of really good, fresh ground coffee. Here are my all time favorite roasts:

1. Luna Tango (Grounds for Celebration, Des Moines, IA)
2. Gold Coast Blend (Starbucks)
3. House Blend (Zanzibar’s Coffee Adventure, Des Moines, IA)
4. Breakfast Blend (Starbucks)
5. Butch’s Blend (Grounds for Celebration, Des Moines, IA)
