I don't care what the brand is as long as it is fair trade and dark, dark, dark roast. Black as night, black as pitch, please. I brew it in my trusty French press that I bought in 1999 at a rummage sale for 50 cents.
We like medium roast/light roast coffee and we buy organic when we can find it. . . although not always easy. Seems that most organic coffee that we run into is dark roast. We haven't found a brand we can be loyal to. We have a drip machine.
Sadly, I can't get Peace Coffee here in Milwaukee!
My all-time favorite coffee is Peet's Kenya Auction Lot, but since I don't make it out to California very often, my stalwart blend is Alterra's Blue Heeler, a blend of regular and dark-roasted Sumatran beans -- fair trade, organic, smooth, and completely delicious.
As for brewing, we pull out the French press for special occasions, and use a standard drip machine everyday.
I enjoy the dark roast coffee from European Roasterie, a MN company. We buy whole bean and use the drip method mostly. We are serious java heads in our house; it's not unusual that we make 3-4 pots a day. Sometimes if I want just one perfect cup, I use our tiny press pot to make it.
I don't really have a brand that I'm loyal to; I prefer medium roast and my favorite brewing method is a stovetop percolator. I've ony recently come to enjoy coffee; for years, I loved the smell, but just couldn't enjoy the bitter taste. One winter, it was cold and the heater in my work truck was broken. Too have some kind of warmth in the truck, I took to drinking coffee all day. I was won over.
I certainly love the reusable bags...I know that Mississippi Market Co-op and Whole Foods both give you a refund (or you can donate it), and I'm guessing most other co-ops are getting in on the game, as well?
Hey, just wanted to let you know that in Google Reader, this post loses all of its paragraph breaks. Makes it much more difficult to read. I imagine there's a setting somewhere to fix this.

My preference for espresso, as most esp roasts
go too dark, lose complexity.
