I'm looking for a replacement for Starbucks Kitamu and/or Verona, so far without success-Very disappointing!

While the Mastro Lorezo and Carte Noire may be a bit acidic as Bekka points out; definetly worth a try. To me they are the closest replacement to the Kitamu and Verona.
The CN Kenya delivers smooth bold taste with crema on top; a bit fruity but it is really good.

I haven't found a coffee that is a good replacement for AK. That is also one of my favorites and there isn't another coffee in T-disc form that tastes similar. Nabobs is a smoother coffee, but its not quite as bold. The MLs and CNs are a bit on the acidic side. MH and G don't quite fit the bill either. Hopefully at least one of the new offerings will be a bold but smooth coffee, with less acidity.

Looking for closest replacement for my fav, SB AK, once my supply runs out. Will check out the 3 new bold G varieties once they're available this summer, but looking for something to bridge the gap until they're released. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
