I'm making some coffee.

Eight O'Clock is good coffee IMO (but I'm no coffee snob). It's what we use to brew. Found other brands to be not as good.

I am a coffee snob and I will drink Eight O'Clock any time its offered. For cheap coffee, they do a great job. I'll take it over Starbucks or gas station "premium" coffee.

I was a little upset because the price went up by a couple dollars not too long ago. But then again its still half the price of most of the coffee I drink.
 
When I grew up on the East coast, Eight O'Clock, Red Circle, and Bokar (sp?) were the A&P house brands. I don't think A&P exists any more - who sells Eight O'Clock these days?

Of course the important question is: by what means are you brewing the coffee?

All the grocery stores in my area sell it. Amazon sells it, but for a higher price than the grocery stores.

We found the Gordon Foods Italian Roast to be very decent for a work coffee. Its cheap enough, we can get it in bulk and it doesn't taste bad.

Good to know, I guess consumption of this brand makes me a snob? I don't know, but I just like it and it's our go to coffee.

I will say that I'm not a fan of their columbian one though.

We mix regular/decaf (50/50). Regular wasn't all that great until we started mixing up. Decaf seems to taste better?

weird

Their decaf is really strong tasting. I don't know what it is about it but its potent. I don't like their columbian either. Original is what I go with.
 
I use a drip coffee maker. Sometimes I use a French press. I almost always grind the beans just before brewing. It definitely makes a difference.

I was given a burr grinder for Christmas two days ago, and it made a world of difference compared to pre-ground.

Of course, my brother-in-law actually roasts his own beans as well, so I can't compete with that.
