I'm moving to Miami for school starting in September, and I will lose the services of my faithful coffee roaster, Gary at The Coffee Roaster in Lincoln, NE.

So, who roasts coffee well and is preferably close to U of Miami?
I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one.  But, I am from the midwest.  I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.

I can certainly do that :)
Let me know when you're in town and what origins you like.
Live in Sunrise , but work in Kendall.

I'll be in town after Labor Day. My preferences lean toward medium roasts with good brightness and medium body. Ethiopian and Tanzanian seem to be two origins that I really like, but I prefer flavor and economy over origin.

I'll pm you some other things.

Thanks!

Groovy , I do have Mokha and Malawi for African origins and a bunch of Centrals.
Generally, 2/3 African and 1/3 Sumatra makes for a dang nice cup .
