1. Most Kona coffee you see in the states says Kona blend. This is NOT Kona coffee, it has a couple of percent Kona coffee beans and is inferior.
2. Presses give MUCH better bang for your buck. The diffusion time and agitation time let you get more "coffee-ness" (and cholesterol =( ) per bean. Definitely the way to go.
3. I'm sure you know this, but darker = less caffeine because roasting longer degrades it.
4. Keurig is a ripoff, sorry man, the coffee/extraction amount is almost the worst out there. And you pay $$$$ for it. Mr. Coffee is much better. It doesn't seem as good because it doesn't market as effectively, but it is much higher quality than Keurig. Presses take more personal time but are cheaper and better than automatic coffee makers.
Edit: and honestly, Folgers Columbian is just as good as most store coffees at like 1/10th the price.

I make some imported coffee from my ancestors called Minas, and that's my good good.
A few secret touches to making it perfect, let me know if you want the full shabam recipe.

Cold Brew is where its at. Take coarse grind coffee and soak it for 12-24 hours. For every part of coffee you use 3-4 parts of water. Filter out the coffee and you're left with a high powered coffee eXtract that has low-acidity and great flavor!

wafflebthere's an abundance of great coffee here in the PNW but i like stumptown the best, especially the ethiopian blends
http://puu.sh/eVi4Z/4a37b06f83.jpg
I love my french press but can see the appeal of an aeropress. I think a regular french press gives a more full bodied flavor if you're into that
though most days i get my caffeine fix from: http://drinkviso.com/
I've got a bag of stumptown right now, pretty damn delicious out of a french press
100% Kona coffee is probably my favourite I've ever had

Yeah, as far as cheapass coffee out of a bucket goes Folgers is by far the best

I use an Impress Brewer, basically an insulated french press (with a slightly finer filter) which doubles as a thermos. It also helps keeping a more constant temperature during the brewing time.
'
As for the type of coffee I switch around a lot. Medium to dark roast. I don't mind a little robusta in my blend from time to time actually.
People who have reported bitter tastes with a french press: did you try coarser grinds and shorter brewing times? It can also help to scoop away the grounds that have risen to the top before you plunge (because by plunging you force the water through those grounds again, risking overextraction). You could also try and let your water cool down a bit more (closer to 195f/90c) before you pour it in.
Meanwhile I pledged on these:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brewover/brewover-20-coffee-system (sweet brewover system that allows for full immersion brewing and easy cold brewing)
