Can you share how the two of you act after finishing that much in the morning? What is that like 7 cups/each?

My guess is they make it pretty watery.

Peet's is the best!

It is simply awful. McDonald’s, Bob Evans, and 7-Eleven are even better.

but I refuse to pay a grocer more than $7.99 per small bag of coffee. It regularly goes on sale at that price. Might have to wait a few weeks though.

Costco sells 2 pound bags for around $18 and they sometimes go on sale for $15.

You can also get em at Costco.

It's like drinking coffee flavored water. Emphasis on the water.

I don’t feel like dealing with a grinder at home

This might be the least messy thing one can do in a kitchen, aside from crackers and pre-cut cheese on a paper plate.

I use a grinder at my son's house and it's always messy, getting the coffee out without spilling some on the counter.

I buy Folgers (usually, what's cheapest) for home because I guzzle coffee. MJB used to be a cheaper brand but several years ago it overtook the Folgers in price. I buy roasted beans to use at my son's house (he doesn't drink coffee) when I visit.

Most people aren't old enough to remember, but coffee prices went through the roof in the mid to late 1970s. A lot of major brands added barley and/or chicory to stretch the coffee and keep the prices down. People bought it but weren't happy. My college food service did too. Their coffee was always bitter anyway (those gigantic food service coffee urns) so it was always about caffeine rather than flavor, but the barley stuff turned grayish when you added milk.I wonder if that will happen again with the tariffs.

As long as it isn’t Folger’s, Maxwell House, or Dunkin, it’s whatever is on sale. All things being equal, I prefer Starbucks, Peet’s and Mayorga.

Another Mayorga fan here.

Tim Horton's. My morning got so much better when Giant started carrying my favorite brand.
