Enjoyed a mug of Ethiopian coffee, served with organic hot milk.

As I am running low on coffee (am almost out, in fact, nothing remains but my emergency stash of Ethiopia coffee, which I am currently working my way through), it is time to peruse some coffee sites, and make a selection.

Hopefully you have an emergency supply....just in case the main supply gets consumed!

This is usually the time of the month when I have to resupply.....but I find I have enough to last until the middle of September.

Well, as I am currently sipping yet another mug of Ethiopian coffee, my limited supplies are rapidly running out.

Actually, I have decided to finish off the emergency supply stash, (Ethiopian) as well as my main supply - the very small amount that remains of Ethiopian coffee - and replenish the lot next week.

However, meanwhile, I expect that I may have to pay a visit to a local coffee shop - the sort that stock coffees from small, well regarded, ethical and environmentally aware coffee producers - to meet my immediate coffee needs over the coming days, at least, until my coffee order has been delivered.
 
Just bought a Lelit Bianca V3 to replace the Breville Barista Express I'd been using for the past 5 years or so, paired with a Eureka Mignon Zero grinder.

Currently pulling shots with Southern Weather from Onyx but would love to hear recommendations for fresh roasted whole beans I can order online. I have the Bottomless subscription with Onyx where they send you a scale that automatically monitors your coffee usage and re-orders for you based on your preferences/queue which is nice, but I'm not sure I'm in love with the coffee itself.

I assume that you are in the US?

I'm from Across the Pond, but, in the past, I have ordered coffee beans from both Intelligentsia, an excellent US company; if memory serves, their products were reasonably priced, as well, and from Sweet Maria's, another US company that was also very good.

Details of both of these companies can be found in the wiki entry on the very first page of this thread.

Nowadays, I tend to order my coffee from local roasters in my own country.

If you like the convenience of their "Bottomless" subscription, then perhaps try a different coffee selection from Onyx? I see that they position the Southern Weather blend as something of a middle road....so perhaps one of their other blends would be more to your liking?

All of the new hardware looks fantastic!
 
I am always encouraged when science backs up things I already know. A recent study found that your morning cup of coffee really does make you happier – even if you're not a caffeine addict.

I'm sorry, what do you mean caffeine addict? Does not compute...

A study that comes as no surprise to me, as, like you, this is something that I have long "known" at an almost visceral level.
