Good thread... Defintely buy beans and grind moments before you percolate or drip. Personally, I really like Perk coffee too, but admit I often use drip cause it is more readily available. There is an organic/health food/cool store locally called GreenStar... To reward myself I sometimes go there and buy about a 1/4 pound of beans of 2 or 3 different organically grown coffees from around the globe and then go home and spoil myself.... I can't say there is only ONE coffee to love the taste of, I like the adventure and the exploring.
