For local roasters - I have used Black Pearl at home almost continuously for the past 10 years or so.

IMO, nothing touches their "The Black Pearl" blend for home use.

The other micro roasters are OK, but I dunno - I would classify their offerings as "trendy", and without staying power (to be fair, Black Pearl also offers many forgettable variants). I also find the taste of coffee from places like Thom Bargen et al. as having a "dusty" lingering aftertaste. Not sure why, but wholly unsatisfying IMO.
