I do.

I used to think that all arabica beans were alike. I would buy the McDonald's coffee or the Aldi German roast because they were inexpensive and said 100% arabica on the label.

But I went ahead and splurged for some of the different Seattle's best coffees. The blends seem to be numbered one through eight. I've landed on #3, portside. it is divine.

What do you guys like?

Aldi used to carry a Uganda Single Origin Fair Trade whole bean that was excellent and under $6.
It was my budget go-to when I wasn't going to the fancier store and I was running low on beans. 
They still sometimes have the Barissimo Peru Fair trade whole beans and they make a good cup too. It holds up fairly well to many of the $10-$12 per pound Peruvian med. roasts I've tried and is about half the price.
