I do buy from starbucks often.. and sometimes from smaller places organic or fairtrade coffees. As far as flavours go I love anything from south america in an espresso shot (probably because I used to work at sbux) All of my beans I like a fairly dark roast.
If I'm drinking brewed then african beans or a blend of african/south american are nicer. I like the SMELL of beans from asia the most, but generally don't like the taste when it's brewed. Asian beans in an espresso shot are hilarious. It's like drinking mud. Interesting. But still savoury spiced mud. Brewed or FP isn't near as bad.
I never buy ground coffee. Always whole bean and grind when I use it. There is no point otherwise.
