Hi All, being a newbie to the business (of sorts....10+ years out of it) and new to this board. I can tell you I have sampled lots of beans in trying to find a house brew for our new shop.
We have settled on 2, and going to let our customers tell us which one ultimately, or maybe offer two- not 100% sure.
My Personal favorite(s):
Coal Creek (Laramie WY) Organic de Coal Creek.
*** This is some really, really great coffee folks *** I did not know what to expect with an organic....but WOW- I pulled some awesome shots. I tasted every shot, of every coffee sent to us....this one converted me to someone who could drink shots straight from the glass. (my wife also)
Morning Light- Signature Blend (Great Falls, MT)
***Mike has built a really good business, and has produced a very very good coffee, and we wanted a Montana roaster....everyone should give it a try at least once - very stable, and consistent, very good flavor and aroma....awesome Crema from. Imagine Apple Butter creamy without the apple taste.
Intelligentsia- Black Cat - this was our choice the second we tasted it as the coffee of the Month. Very unique, almost sweet, may cause me to make a tough choice down the road if customer react the way I think they will.
These 3 represent my Organic, My regular, and my coffee of the Month.

Next 3 for the rotation (organic and coffee of the month)
Snowy Mountain (MT)
Doma(ID)
Coffee Emergency: Code Brown (NE)
I have tried about 20 different types, and most were very good, a few were, "OK" and only a few what I could call bad (I threw them out)
I really believe this business is like wine. not always, but most of the time- you get what you pay for.
Hope that helps, feel free to contact me, I look forward to this thread, and trying some other hidden gems.
