Sena Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We buy a brand called Stewarts. Prices have recently gone up more than $2 for a 23oz can, so it's now over $9/can. So what are you all drinking and what are you paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-FL Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maxwell House & it's about the same price.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karenciavo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Costco brand Fair Trade. I think it's $7.99 for 3 lbs, something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybryte Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm drinking Maxwell House right now, because it was B1G1 free at Publix and I had coupons! It tasts fine. I do love me some Starbucks, though!!! :D Jacquelyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maxwell House. We can find it around here for about 6.00 for a large can. Folgers is almost 9.00 for the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Various organic fair-trade coffees from Trader Joe's. I haven't noticed a particular increase in price, but dh is the only one who drinks coffee at our house, so it's a fairly small aspect of my grocery budget.

Pink Fairy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I hate to admit it, but I only drink Starbucks coffee. The price is ridiculously expensive, although I buy mine at Sam's Club so it's not as bad as if I bought it at a Starbucks. We started drinking it a few years ago, when prices weren't so terrible, and now I don't enjoy anything else. I'd have to cut back somewhere else before I'd give up my coffee, but I do cringe whenever I think about the cost. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Millstone--I drink girlie coffee and has to be flavored to tolerate. DH's coffee could practically put hair on my chest:drool::drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 we drink Walmart's Great Value 100% Columbian in the purple can. It's around $3 for the small can, and I think around $6 for the big. Before you knock it, several people I know are coffee snobs. I've had a handful ask me what kind of coffee I brew because it "tastes like Starbucks". I've never had a straight Starbucks coffee (I like the fancy stuff), so I don't know if it's true. Right now I'm drinking Maxwell House, because it was on sale and I had a coupon. I like the GV better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We used to buy the big 40? oz. bag of Starbucks at Sam's for ~$18. Based on Consumer Reports (just because we wanted something cheaper), we now buy Eight O'Clock at Walmart, 12 oz. bag for about $4. On a funny note, Consumer Reports rated Starbucks at the bottom of the taste test. I use enough creamer that I can't tell the difference WHAT kind of coffee I'm drinking, but dh drinks it black.

clwcain Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Community or CDM Coffee & Chicory is the daily grind. ;) I have some Starbuck's Casi Cielo for dessert coffee, some Whole Foods Organic Espresso Roast for making espresso, and we usually buy something good looking at Costco when we want variety. I'm fond of Starbuck's new blend. I blew through a half-pound sampler of that right after it came out. Not bad. Certainly better than most of what they've sold over the last decade.

Philothea Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm not the coffee drinka (fake Boston accent intended) but around this place, it's Dunkin Donuts coffee. DH buys it and brews it at home, I think he usually buys it when it is 2/ 9.99 or 10.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancypants Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It's a basic Starbucks sort sold at Costco. We get whole bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I get ours mostly at a local shop that does their own roasting, and I get whatever they have on sale, which generally runs about $6-7/lb. If I'm at Trader Joes at the right time I'll pick up a can of Ethiopian Fair Trade which is a bit more -- about $7 for 12oz. We go through about a pound every two weeks.

Sue G in PA Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Gevalia. They ship to me and I guess they are quite pricey over other grocery store brands but they ship to me and I don't have to worry about remembering to buy coffee...just creamer!

Jen500 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Eight O Clock. It used to be 3-something for 11oz and now $5. A treat is Pete's coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Right now I'm drinking Starbucks Verona (whole bean.) It cost about $11 for a pound. It's ridiculous, I know, but I like it very much and I am the only one who drinks it, so it lasts longer here. I recently bought some Peet's at the grocery store, but it wasn't as good as the mail order kind. Awhile back I read an interesting piece in Cook's Illustrated that described the actual difference in coffee beans. It turns out that you can judge the true quality by the number of "quakers" that you find in a random sampling. I can't locate the original article right now, but it actually went through several of the brands we've discussed in this thread and rated them for quakers (bad beans.) The quakers are lighter in color and just look different than the other beans. When they're ground they contribute a bitter flavor to the finished product.

Pster Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 ditto - bought Maxwell House cause it was BOGO and I had a coupon!

Rose in BC Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We drink quite a lot of coffee and this is the most economical. And it tastes good. We buy whole beans. Ironically we live 400 miles from the nearest Costco so each time friends of ours go out of town they bring us back some. They're our coffee pushers!

ThelmaLou Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Most recently, the Archer Farms brand from Target. They had a coupon for $1.00 off any Archer Farms coffee, so I loaded up on the little $0.99 sample bags. I stuffed a bunch of Christmas goodie bags with these, along with some homemade caramel corn. Then I saved the rest for myself. I'm finishing my last bag today. Not sure where I'll buy my next stash, but the cheaper the better!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I love Millstone, BReakfast Blend. I literally use half cup coffee/half cup of skim milk and plenty of sugar. :) I'm a coffee wimp and only drink it maybe twice a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Peet's... a roaster form Berkeley CA. My favorite blend is called Major Dickason's. I am a terrible coffee snob, and this is the best home coffee I have ever had. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paula j Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I usually drink Maxwell House but..... I really love to order coffee from Gevalia, it is so good!;) I can't usually afford such extravagance but when my pot starts getting old and slow I usually sign up to get one of their nice free coffee makers with the lovely carafe and to do this you purchase, I believe 2 packs of their coffee. I usually stay in their club for about 3 shipments, then I have to give it up till my pot wears out again.:glare: Dh doesn't mind if I do this because we really love their coffee makers and they would probably be fairly pricey. Dunkin Doughnuts coffee isn't half bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Dh is the coffee connoisseur around here. He buys Juan Valdez Guajira. It's pretty inexpensive, but I'm not sure they sell it in the US. He gets in the Bogota airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Most recently, Dunkin Donuts. I've had some Trader Joe's decaf that is really good, but I don't live near TJ's. :glare: I like Starbucks when I'm out, but I haven't bought it to use at home. We have some Millstone Hazelnut Cream. I also drink Folgers instant, but I don't like Folgers or Maxwell house brewed coffee. We have a variety of Gevalia coffees too. Some are really good and some are not.

Part-Time Homeschooler Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I love Gevalia. I used to belong to their coffee club, but it got too expensive so I cancelled my membership. Right now I'm drinking a store brand, which isn't half bad. I also like to get coffee at Sonic, of all places. Everyone in awhile I will stop and get a cup. It's only $1.09 for a large cup, much more affordable than a cup of Starbuck's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsha617 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 My husband and I like whole bean coffee we ground ourselves. Sun Harvest Farms sells a Texas Pecan blend. For us that is decaf. It is smooth and tastes really good. That's what makes a good cup of coffee, doesn't it? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I rarely buy coffee any more that is not both organic and fair trade; those standards are important to me. I also prefer to support local companies that are directly involved with the co-ops growing the beans. Prices range from $9-$12 per pound. Expensive, but we use a French press and don't drink it in great quantity. We buy a brand called Stewarts. Prices have recently gone up more than $2 for a 23oz can, so it's now over $9/can. So what are you all drinking and what are you paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
