The best coffee I've had, bar none, was in Singapore. Apparently they have a long entrenched culture of coffee there, and it shows in what you feel on your tongue when it lights up the taste buds.
Called "kopi", it's traditionally prepared with Indonesian beans that are roasted on the spot. The kopi master repeatedly pours the brew in a long stream through the air, from vessel to vessel, before it's combined with sweet condensed milk. I'll tell you what, this "kopi" in Singapore, just like the food there, is so good it'll bring a broad smile to your face and tears to your eyes.
Here's a YouTube about it and a couple of links.

Some of my favorite local roasters are:
Jones Coffee
Coffee Klatch
I heard that they roast the coffee for http://www.53x11coffee.com/ but I'm not sure that's true.
Intelgentsia
Apparently Handsome roasters in LA is really good too, but I haven't been able to try them yet. They're run by an ex-intelligentsia guy I think.
Probably my favorite (partly because it's run by a friend) is Ozo Coffee in Boulder, Co
I'm drinking their espresso 2012 this week.
