Consumer Reports coffee value test

[Woody]

Eight O'Clock Coffee's 100% Colombian, at $6.28 a pound, was chosen as
Consumer Reports best coffee buy in their latest study:

There *must* be someone somewhere who disagrees with this; nyet?

GOD, yes. Six dollars a pound? Insanity.

My regular coffee is Melitta Classic. When it goes on sale for $4.99,
I stock up. I just looked at the can, and it's 1 lb. 7 oz.

It's very finely ground, so it makes a strong cup, which is what I
like.

I think the Consumer Reports recommendation was based on a combination of
price and taste quality, not just price.

On the other hand, taste is kinda subjective.

To quote a random Dungeons & Dragons player, "Beauty is in the eyes of the
Beholder."

That's quite expensive. If you find a Costco that has a roaster in the
store, 3 pounds of 100% Columbian beans are around $13, available in
different roasts.

Been buying it for years (but beans not the pre-ground stuff) and turned
a couple friends onto it when they asked why the coffee tasted so good.
The 2 lb 4 oz bag sells for under $10 at the large local family owned
market where we buy most of our stuff.
