They can be pricier obviously.

I agree.
I like a lot of the local roasters.
Heritage is great. Baja Rica is really good, and Sought and Found is also nice. (I'm pretty sure I've given you enough information to triangulate my exact address)
I also like the "Bigger ones" P&S, Analog, Monagram, Rosso is probably my favourite.
If you're looking to support local they are great options.
If you want something less local, and maybe a big bigger, and want to spend a little less Kicking Horse is fantasitc.
And if cost is more of a consideration and you're looking for a good deal on pretty good coffee, Lina's is pretty good for the price, and then it's dealer's choice for a big Italian brand that makes good coffee and is relatively inexpensive.
In my house I usually have one bag of local Calgary coffee, for weekend afternoons or post dinner when I can really enjoy it.
Then if it was on sale, I'll have kicking horse as my daily driver/weekday morning coffee. First thing in the morning I'm looking for middle of the road, which doesn't mean bad or boring.
If I can't find something on sale for a decent price then I break out the "best cheap option" which is usually Lina's or Lavaza.
There's a pretty wide range of good coffee's at any price range, and they all have a place/purpose.
