I rarely drink coffee, but I've started drinking more to give me a boost to get my exercising in. I have been slowly going through SB House and SB French Roast at home. Not a coffee aficionado like you all, but I like them ok. I don't do anything to them, just straight black.

I was at my parents over the long weekend and needed coffee Monday to get a bike ride in. All my mom drinks is instant Folgers and that might have been the nastiest drink I've ever had in my life. I was blown away by the difference in taste.

Any suggestions for a maybe 2-3 cup a week a drinker to enjoy proper coffee on the cheap?

Some of the Kroger Private Selection branded coffee is pretty good if you're looking to be more frugal.

eh, I don't have a problem with it and I don't know what Bill's tastes are. I think we can agree it's better than Folgers

Bill, pour over coffee cone. This is what I have been using for twenty years. You can also get a reusable filter so you do not have to use paper filters. One cup at a time, though they do make larger ones.

No, I am forced to drink El Folgero daily. Community Coffee is gut rot as a comparison.....at least to me.



I know people that claim Yeungling is good beer too.

Yeah, single life in the pandemic made the bike purchase possible. I like the two SB roasts I have, but my method is from the dark ages to get a cup. I need some sort of individual cup machine to make this easier.

See post #16 in this thread. If you're thinking about going the Keurig route, those kcups are pretty cheap and taste pretty dang good.

What is this? This seems like my answer

I don't know what my tastes are either. I've had Dunkin before (don't know which one exactly and it was ok), I feel like I like the SB French Roast the best from what little I've had. SB House and Pike's Place are pretty good too. I was just going into our leasing office and getting a cup for free through their machine, but it's not been usable since the pandemic. (It was a SB machine)

I bought a Faberware k cup machine and Starbucks Dark Italian k cups. It was awesome, when it worked right. It was like $30 bucks. But those little cups were $1 each. I can make a pot of coffee, pour 1 cup and dump the rest for .55.

Points are...if you buy one of those don't buy the Faberware.

$1 a cup versus .11 cents a cup is still more whether it's a cup every day or 2-3 cups a week.

Math is hard.

Heat the water and pour directly over the grounds. You can get really nerdy with the process, or just simply heat and pour.

you know I'm a nerd right?

This is an advance on what I've been doing. I have been heating the water, then using a small strainer with a filter. I'm going to buy this. Thanks.

I don't have time to meditate over each cup I brew nor do I expect the experience to be zen like. Coffee snob, I'm not. Not there yet.

On a lighter note, I just noticed in those pictures I took the other night, they have the Mitcher's Rye. Was the one you were talking about the 10 year?

I was talking about the regular. Haven't had the 10 year, would like to, but I don't think it is easy to find.
