Wow, what a great discovery!
I remember when I did the same, 27 years ago when I started
in the workforce. The group was brewing and mixing coffee beans, which
easily found a way to my tastebuds. It was a Columbia, French Roast
blend.
Since then my wife and I have been experimenting with blending our
own mix of coffee beans. Today we enjoy the Columbia/Mocha Java.
I only drink one cup of coffee on the weekends now, cut down because it
was tearing my stomach up. I do love the smell of a fresh brew
and the taste on a cold weekend morning.
I've already read a good deal about blends, but I'm not anywhere near
ready to try that......with my virtually non-existent experience in
roasting, blending would be an entirely random experiment.
Since I know you're in the kitchen quite a bit and an outstanding cook,
Try complementing your favorite coffee blend with a biscotti.
I'll be trying it with LOTS of stuff. 
Thanks, Tom.

Coffee is long term Wolffie, it's a pleasurable passion like fly-fishing.
Enjoy!!
