I prefer single-origin Arabica, pero I do enjoy Benguet or Barako brews as well.
I’m still in the experimentation phase, pero sa ngayon ang paborito ko yung La Palma Y El Tucan (Neighbors and Crops series) from Yardstick. Naubos ko na yung binili ko last month, buti na lang meron akong 1 kg ng Lamill Coffee Ethiopia Wote Konga (Yirgacheffe). I can taste the explosion of flavor in the cup, pero ang hirap i-dial in to my taste nitong Wote Konga kumpara sa LPET.
I brew with a V60 for a clean and bright cup and hand grind my beans using a Kalita KH-3 burr grinder that I got as a gift. Pag may funds na ako ulit para sa coffee tools ko, bibili ako ng Comandante or Kinu for a more consistent grind. Dahil sa design ng Kalita, hindi ko namememoryado kung nasa same settings talaga ako palagi.
Used to like coffee with creamer/milk and sugar, pero ngayon I want to taste all the nuances of the beans I buy.

Benguet is too light for me.
Monk’s Blend (arabica+robusta) > any barako I’ve tried
… and I’ve tried everything you can find in the supermarkets in the Metro.

I have a big Delonghi Coffee Maker at home given to me by my grandma-in-law. I love coffee and I wouldn’t survive without drinking a cup in a day (arte mo ghorl 
). Black coffee would be the best for me. Arabica or Robusta, does not matter as long as it’s strong.

I have GERD so I stopped drinking coffee regularly
(But @KniM coffee is hard to resist) 
I have tea every so often. I prefer loose leaf tea but if I’m in a hurry, the Yogi brand of teas.
Masaya na ako sa Old Town Original

Coffee lovers, have you tried roasting your own coffee beans? I saw unroasted beans at Gourmet Farms and was exploring the idea of roasting them but I havent done any research yet. Anyone of you tried already?
hindi pa ako. walang time for that pa
My brother has a small batch table top roaster. Sa kanya ako kumukuha ng beans. Mukhang enjoy sya pag ro-roast! Yung last nya binigay sa akin Bukidnon beans, sarap!

Same same. Hindi pa ako nakapag roast. Wala nga along gamit eh. Unless.pwede yung pang prito na palayok. Ehehe. 
Yung ginagawa nila sa SG/Malaysia/Indonesia ay hinahalo sa kawa parang chestnut
Naimagine ko na ganito rin gagawin ko kapag nabore na ako dito sa bahay. hahahaha
