Look at that cup of coffee on the left. Does it not look appealing? What you see behind it is a fireplace, and on the left are cars at a traffic light, and behind me, St. Lawrence Market. This was a Colombian coffee, a little bit more acidic than I like, but with whisps of orange peel. The colour was heavy black, similar to the crude you get at Starbucks, but the flavour was lighter. Aftertaste of toasted marshmallow and caramel flan. The price was around $1.80 for a small (equivalent to a medium at Tim Horton's or a tall at Starbucks).
I love Second Cup coffee, but usually with some cream so that the fat cuts through the acid. I've also been getting used to my french press in the morning (using Second Cup roast also), but I find that much of the harshness doesn't get picked up by the water when using a french press versus a drip machine. But overall, Second Cup is a good choice for the price point.
Also I found this pretty cool coffee tasting wheel online!
