Out of curiosity...What are you using for a grinder?
Anyway...(2) consistently good and reasonably priced roasters in St. Louis are Kaldi's (700 blend, for you, would be my recommendation), and Blueprint (maybe Penrose).
Other cheaper/bulk mail-order...You might look at Redbird or Nicolleti...buy 5 pounds, divide up and put the rest in the freezer and pull packs, as needed.
Malabar Gold is another mail-order strong/simple coffee...but...it has a mix of Arabica and Indian Robusta.

I don’t need single origin but I certainly would prefer it. Nothing fancy on the grinder, I use a Braun KG7070, flat grinder. Gets the job done.
Thanks for the selections you offered and thank to all who responded. Appreciate it. |
That's a fine grinder for press. Just clean off the burrs and sweep out the chute periodically, they do have a few traps that can hold stale grounds. You'd benefit from a better grinder, but it's also hard to find a grinder that does a rough press grind properly. Baratzas are not ideal for press.
