I miss Community Coffee especially the Breakfast Blend. Wife #4 loved the stuff, but not available here. Wife #5 prefers Dunkin's Original Roast. I'm in a bit of a quandary. 🤷‍♂️
You can probably order it online and they will ship it to you. I do that at my work place.

My go to brands are 8 oclock, Tim Hortons, and Peets.

As far as true grocery store brands go, I have heard Wegmans is good, but I havent tried it yet.

No coffee for me - I’m a Diet Coke man when it comes to caffeine ingestion

On the high end micro-batch side, Passenger coffee out of Lancaster is an amazing product. My son heard about it from his friends while living on the Upper East Side. They read about it and were very intrigued. We live in Lancaster, and oddly enough had not heard of this gem in our own backyard. Our Whole Foods carries it but I am not sure of other locations. He brought back bags for Christmas gifts, and the friends really enjoyed it.

I am the furthest from a coffee snob...I prefer quantity over just about any other characteristic. So, the best deal in town is usually Folger's 1850. But I'll go with 8 O'clock or just about anything other than a store brand, Chock Full o' Nuts, or Maxwell House. Folger's FTW. Who remembers Hill's Bros coffee? Bitter swill that!
Coffee is like Bier there is something for everyone.

Just tried Aldi Breakfast Blend (med roast). Terrible! I'll have to see if that one is a different one.

Well, for the budget conscious, here the ratings for the Aldi coffees.
I actually prefer some of the Lavasa stuff but only buy it when it's on sale and for the Adi offerings the German medium is the only one I will drink. I think all the others is pretty much crap.

I’ve been buying Pablo’s Pride from Sam’s club for several years. Even at today’s prices I can get a 2 lb. Bag for around $20. I like it because it’s very low acid.

I always enjoyed Blue Bottle Giant Steps or Three Africas blends on the west coast. They were available in most grocery stores.

This is not a store brand, but a buddy who lives in Bogota recently introduced me to Cafe Coocentral. It’s highly addicting.

Me?

* Gevalia
* McCafe
* 8 O'Clock

I've tried the Amazon brands and they're not bad imo. I buy Gevalia when it's BOGO and it's the best imo. McCafe you can get on Amazon for a good price.
Cameron Hawaiian blend.

Dunkin
Lancaster Coffee Roasters (their blueberry is one of the few flavored coffees I will drink. I enjoy it.

I like McDonalds and Sheetz when I’m on the road.

I think I will be sampling a bier sooner than later.
I need to get a Yueng keg for my tapster, but in the meantime I've been enjoying original Michelob Light (on sale at Publix). Such a consistent, clean tasting beer (and not really a light beer).
