Starbucks is tired. It's not disgusting or anything, but for those who have a favorite local coffee joint, or who would like to recommend a favorite that's not mass produced, please share!
I enjoy straight shots of espresso and also just a great cup of joe. I used to go black, but got into milk and sugar a couple years ago when I discovered that it allowed me to drink the coffee sooner by cooling it down.
I also try to support free trade coffees if I can.
My current faves:
David Lynch Signature Cup - best smelling fresh ground coffee I've ever smelled (Organic French Roast)

The Coffee Fool - wide range of high quality beans - try the sampler pack
http://www.coffeefool.com
Full City - currently only in Eugene, OR, but I'm going to try to order some from them. Recommended by coastline as the best latte ever. I only had a cup of Full City Blend, but it was definitely a winner!

Would love to hear some recommendations of local places to go when traveling about the country/world.

Well, since I can't recommend Full City anymore, I'll just tell a story about it. Several years ago, one of the columnists at my paper, who lives in a small Colorado town that's a lot like the one in "South Park," told me he was going to Eugene, Oregon, for his daughter's wedding. I suggested he go to Full City if wanted some good java. He said he'd try. A few weeks later, he sent me a package. It was two bags of beans from Full City. Turns out his brand-new son in law was the manager of Full City Coffee in Eugene, Oregon. Now there's a connection.
My favorite beans are Millstone's Mayan Black Onyx blend -- which I buy at several different grocery stores here. It's better than anything I've gotten at any coffee shop anywhere.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

I'm sure I've started at least two threads on the subject as well. Do your research!

there's a serious lack of green tea threads however.
No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God George Bush snr |

Yeah, but this one's called "The Coffee Thread" and now I have links to the other threads for free ;)
Anyway, I read those threads, and aside from a couple posts, they don't have much local flavor. I thought Peete's was great for a while, but there's much better stuff out there. I'm looking for stuff like Frnk was originally asking for, like "where's the best place to get an espresso while in town?" I assuming he meant, you know, besides freaking Starbucks. Where do the locals go?
For example in San Francisco, the best espresso I've had was at Coppola's restaurant. A nice place to eat before going to the theatre as well. Stuff like that.
