I'm not on par with you guys, but thanks anyway!

I'm open to recommendations. I like a nutty, caramely, cinnamony profile.

You shouldn't use flavored beans in your nice shiny new Virtuouso,

If nutty and caramelly is your bag, focus on Central and South Americans coffees.

If I were you, I'd order a sampler from either Sweet Marias or Unclebeanz so that you get exposed to other origins and what those beans taste like, try some africans, some indonesians, etc. Lots of different flavors out there.

Thanks for the info Vic. Are you serious about the flavored beans or are you just calling me a puss?

Im serious. The syrups they put n the beans will gunk up your burrs. Worse than that, they'll contaminate and ruin the flavor of any other bean you grind in there.

Just buy the flavored coffee syrups made by Monin and others and add it to the brewed coffee, or as an alternative get a cheap whirlyblade grinder and grinder and use that for the flavored beans
