Not able to grind my own beans as easily anymore so started buying ground coffee and bought this stuff because of this thread. It's not nearly as bad as I was thinking it was gonna be, solid recommendation.

I always thought Cafe Bustello was shit tier coffee, slightly above Folgers. I'm surprised to see it being recommended.
On the other hand, the Cafe Bustello can makes a great swear jar if you're friends with a super hero and own a barber shop in the hood.

I bought an aeropress last week after i shattered my French press for the last time. I've been drinking Starbucks cafe Verona for years, and now I feel like it's time to buy whole bean and grind fresh each morning. What's a good readily available (i.e., from Amazon) coffee to start with? I lean towards darker/richer varieties. Thanks in advance.

What does this even mean? This thing is dirt cheap and a monkey could use it. Takes all of 10-20 seconds, depending how coarse / fine you want it.

Does it have to be from Amazon?
I love Creamery from Ruby: Creamery Seasonal Blend
It's my everyday coffee. I'll start picking up something else to make cold-brew with later though.

So three days in and lots of trial and error with my aeropress, I've come up with a process that consistently makes a cup of coffee just the way I like it.
Measure out and grind 18g of dark roast beans
Heat water and let sit about 30 seconds after the boil
Sit aeropress on mug with mesh screen filter
Add coffee
Fill to 3
Allow for bloom, then stir 5-10 times (water will be down to 2 by now)
Top off back to 3 then press
Top off in mug (1-2 oz)
There are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube with various brew methods, but I've settled on the above as my go-to. Everyone has their own preference, of course, but this might help someone trying to tune their method to their taste.
