My local roaster / coffeeshop: http://www.andytownsf.com/ http://www.andytownsf.com/ I usually get the Amaro Gayo Ethopian beans (I tend to prefer african beans to south / central american ones, and ethiopian over the rest of africa, but that's not hard-and-fast, the $50 / lb beans were also from andytown, but central american, costa rica IIRC). Seriously and in all honestly they roast the best beans I've ever had. I've lived on both coasts, had a lot of coffee. It's not super cheap ($10 - $17 for a half-pound) but it is worth it. There may be better coffee, but I imagine it is one of those logarithmic scale things - I'd have to pay 10x for a 10% increase in taste or whatever.
