Meh, it’s cheap and it’s good enough. I like coffee but not enough to spend money on “the good stuff” for daily consumption. And there’s no way in hell I’m grinding beans at 6am.
If there’s a Winco near you, they have good-might-be-stretch-but-significantly-better-than-Folgers coffee in their bulk section that you can grind in store. It’s fairly cheap - no idea if it’s a better or worse deal than Folgers. Decent variety of strengths and flavors.
If you don’t have a Winco nearby, you might have something similar- on a scale of [normal grocery store] to [Costco], Winco is kind of right in the middle; I’m guessing it’s not the only chain that’s like that, and that similar stores will have a similar inventory.
second best for us. we got a damn fine locally owned gourmet chain called Nugget where we buy our fancy dinner ingredients, but Winco is our employee owned everything else grocer
Yeah, we used to live right next to one and it was fantastic. Then we moved and now it’s about 20 min away, so I now go to Costco and the grocery store since there both a mile or two away.
You act like you have to go outside and break boulder-sized beans apart with a pickaxe, lol. It’s the exact same number of scoops, you just put whole beans in your grinder first, then your coffee maker. Literally takes about 5 seconds longer.
To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with liking cheaper coffee, and I don’t think the majority of us need or could tell the difference from using the absolute best beans and equipment to enjoy it… BUT, grinding your beans fresh gives a huge improvement to aroma and taste, such that I’m still amazed at the coffee I’m sipping out of my thermos late in the day. And it goes without saying that it improves every morning for me, personally. Most people discover a giant improvement, even using the exact same brand and type of coffee, only whole-bean. Very little experimentation is required to make amazing coffee that tastes perfect to you. Good luck if you try it…
Looking online, it’s up to around 50 cents an ounce, personally I’m drinking cafe El Morro, it was around 2.50 for a 10 oz brick, but it’s a lot cheaper if you order direct now with price increases. Also it’s pretty good coffee.

Winco is far and away the best grocery store ive shopped at.
Wish there was one near where i live, so damn cheap compared to the competition.

I was a big coffee guy for awhile for the taste, now I’m really just in it for the caffeine. Aeropress + whatever’s on sale is good enough for me
Aeropress is a significant leap above basic coffee for the caffeine.
It’s also fast and easy which is what I’m looking for at 6am
