Coffee is nasty as is the smell. Try high quality English breakfast or earl grey then try to compare it to store bought crap. It won’t happen. Some quality teas can be found in bags but are better loose. Not the highest of quality but Fortnum and Mason, Whittard of Chelsea, Jing Tea and Tea Forte are all a good start.

What are your suggestions for Good Stuff for coffee? I'm pretty lazy and just get Dunkin Donuts or something similar at the grocery store. I'm thinking I'd like to mix in tea, but I'm thinking I'll have coffee as well, just less.

Main reason is I would like to decrease my caffeine intake. Since coffee has so much, I end up getting more than is required to provide the ability to concentrate. But drinking small doses throughout the day seems like a hassle. Part of drinking it is just to have something to do, so a drink with less caffeine seems like a good answer.

Well if you can find a local shop that roasts their own beans it will be fresh. Then find what brew of theirs you like. I think a French press is pretty cheap and makes a good cup. I can't help you in picking out a coffee, what I like you may hate. With that said a low acidic coffee is probably a good start for a new bee. Often peaberry coffees are nice mellow roasts. Think of it as an adventure exploring coffee. I pretty much don't like Starbuck anything if you have have a Coffee Bean & Tea leaf near you their Bali Blue Moon is a real nice smooth cup. There are so many local coffee joints to choose from that probably all have a decent brew for you. Hope that helps.
