I'm probably not the best person to answer this question--I've developed my cop dad's taste for crappy coffee. Of course I can appreciate high-end organic in a French press....but I don't mind drinking gas station brew, either. The only coffee I can't stand is weak coffee. Yuck. I also drink massive amounts of coffee, and am on a law student's budget.
That being said....I really like to buy locally-roasted coffee. Not only is it fresher, but it's putting money back into the local economy. Here in Louisville, we have a couple of microroasteries--Heine Brothers is the most famous. I'd recommend trying something local to your area. If you don't live in a large city, you may have to order from a bigger community nearby.
Enjoy the joe!
