McCafé at home. But McDonald’s coffee from the restaurant is pretty good in my opinion.
OT: What are your preferred brands of supermarket coffee for brewing?

Grounds and Hounds is our online choice. Solid assortment, fresh, and portion of the money goes to dog rescue.
@Garw brings us a variety of Fresh roasted beans from his roaster in Baltimore which has made the start of the day that much more enjoyable. Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, etc.
and when Tgar does have to grab Starbucks on the road, he most definitely is channeling his inner @BobPSU92
we grind our beans and have an OXO Coffee maker which we enjoy though it may be time for something new.
When we Air BNB, we just take along a bag of Starbucks Columbian ground.

Assuming you're talking about the Sunbury based coffee company, Fresh Roasted Coffee? They have really good coffee, as well as tea. They are my go to for stocking the office K-Cups and to give away as gifts. They're selling some on Amazon now, but I usually buy direct or swing by when visiting my parents.
I understand that you asked for supermarket bought coffee, but I wanted to offer another option for those who are very particular about their coffee (as I am), I order whole beans from JBC Roasters in Madison, Wi and have done so for years. They offer a wide variety of beans with different traits.. Here is the link if you are interested in exploring.

In State College, Dunkin is cheaper at the individual dunkins then the grocery stores. I like a bold strong coffee so I am hooked on the Dunkin Midnight. 10.99/bag at grocery store, 8.99/bag at the dunkins. If I ever find something as strong as Dunkin Midnight I would switch but haven't yet.
The other thing I like about Dunkin is that if you're out of coffee and it's between 6-7 AM, you don't have to wait for the Publix to open at 7.
Other than 'expresso' at a shop across from the Maxwell House plant in Hoboken, NJ (still there?) - Dunkin French Vanilla brewed in a Breville coffee maker (US brands suck) makes the morning good to go. Outside of Publix territory - Dunkin will do - make it white and sweet - or In NYCity at the bus terminal - 'regular'!

Love
Lavazza.
Love Lavazza. Began drinking in on R/C cruises. Robust and deeply satisfying.
I wonder what coffee they serve at PSU bot meetings. The coffee and scones must be to die for.
Coffee snobs, try Equal Exchange if it's available in your area. Equal exchange is a really cool company. They are employee owned and they partner directly with plantations in third world countries. The typical model is the farmers get paid once a year upon harvest and have to budget for the entire year from that payment. Equal Exchange does Semi-Annual payments to their suppliers to lessen some of the cash flow budget concerns that many small plantation owners struggle with.
And, the coffees are typically really really good.

We just fell into it. When my wife ordered the expresso machine from Amazon, she just clicked on "people also order this" button for Super Crema. That's all I've ever used.
When we got the French press, I tried Crema y Aroma as Super Crema was really strong. Everyone liked it better.
Rarely drink it but it all tastes so bitter. But the few times I did I needed to dilute it with lots of cream and sugar. My wife uses the Keurig machine. The pods are green never noticed the brand.
Although in Rome I enjoyed the espresso shot after dinner. (still had to add a couple sugars)
Now if you want to discuss Supermarket Coffee Ice Cream: Haagen Daas

Margaret Hamilton was a sweetheart in real life, just saying. She was trained as a kindergarten teacher and doted on children. Don’t know exactly why I felt the need to mention this but here we are.
Great scene. We couldn't sample the meth so Gilligan approximates the feeling by instead using something we all know and appreciate, coffee. Blue meth / best coffee ever, two sides of the same coin.
Mississippi John Hurt. Delta blues musician from the 40s. His song coffee blues is an excellent listen for any music lover but especially those that enjoy finger-picking acoustic.
If you like that one, try their Pecan Coffee. I'm not a fan of flavored coffee but the Pecan is pretty good. It's very smooth.
Oh God, Christmas coffees, yuk. A crying shame. For the money people spend on these fancy holiday brews they could get a really good brew, a splurge, that’s always a treat. If you’re going to a party and your hosts drink coffee, instead of bringing a bottle of wine bring a $15 bag of coffee.
Tend to agree but I wouldn't call their Pecan version a "Christmas Coffee" those all seem to have a peppermint stick sticking out and whipped cream on top. Not my style at all.
I’m with you brother.
I stopped crappy coffee about eight years ago. Now I buy from a local shop/roaster. I currently alternate between medium roast Peruvian or Guatemalan (valerio coffee in KOP area).
The Hills Bros Building in SF still has a scuplture of the turban wearing figure from the can...
I do the exact same. If I drink decaf and it’s not Swiss water I get an almost instant headache for some reason. Newman’s Own and Verena Street make inexpensive but pretty tasty decafs.
