I love their Ethiopian Yirga Cheff and they seem to get better results than I do roasting it myself.
Their houseblend Espresso is good too.
If you really want to see something good, order up some Intelligencia Black Cat or Stumptown Hairbender online. They'll roast it when you order it and give UncleBeanz a try as well.
Not trying to sound like a snob, and if you love Illy, great! I like my beans no older than 10 days post roast max.
If all else fails, meet up with me at Corona and I'll let you try some of my home roast.

I don't take it the wrong way. You have more experience with different beans. I use a Jura Machine with Illy beans because its fast, easy, has little mess and little maintenance. It is by no mean the best coffee I've ever had. It's delivers a consistent taste for me.
The downtown Publix is spotty on the Illy supply so I'm looking for a more reliable solution.
I'll try the Intelligencia Black. How long do they take to ship?
Have you ever tried the Nicaraguan coffee that they serve at Corona? Does anyone from the area meet downtown at Corona on a regular basis?
