i agree jamaica blue mountain coffee is great when i have extra cash to spend.
otherwise papua new guinea coffee is good and celebes coffee better yet.
I roast my own coffee. I have a a roaster does a cup of beans in under ten minutes.
Its possible to use a hot air popcorn popper to roast.. just do it outside as the oil from the beans will smoke the shit out of the house or flat. I had the building super call the fire guys one time

nine minutes after the first crack of the beans should give you a strong espresso roast
7 minutes a decent french roast
5 minutes a medium
3 minutes light roast.

roast the beans.. and let them de gass for a week ..anything sooner you will have funny tasting coffee.
and to prove the degassing... place the fresh roast in a zip lock bag and watch the bag swell. or a tupperware container..it will blow the lid off!
