I'm also in the middle. Starbucks for me is probably the minimum quality coffee I will drink. There are some dark roast hotel coffees I might try just to get going in the morning but most don't make the cut.

During my business travel to Asia, I get to taste a lot of incredibly good coffee. To me, that's a bonus. I don't need those to get by. Sometimes, Starbucks will hit the spot for me.

I use a French Press at home and normally buy 3 lb bags of Tiny Footprint Dark Roast coffee. Beans are slightly oily but it's doable. Been drinking it for the past few years at home and haven't looked back.
