Yes, I am a coffee lover as well! It's one of my favorite things. I prefer a light to medium roast myself. I like the caffeine kick you get from the lighter roasts, and to me, the flavor is better. To me, dark roasts tend to taste burned, so you don't get as much of the flavor from the actual coffee bean. Of course, fresh ground is the way to go, if you have the luxury of a grinder. Does anybody else here hate weak coffee? It's a pet peeve of mine...
