Folgers new and improved instant coffee appeared a few years
ago. It went from one of my favorite blends to the worst in
one fell swoop. It was even worse than the cheap house
brands I quite often purchase. I vowed at the time to never
buy Folgers again and so far I have kept it. Free wouldn't
make it taste any better IMO...

With all due respect about your qualifications to judge gourmet coffee,
"Folgers gourmet coffee" is a contradiction in terms. It's not unlike
"giant shrimp", and "military intelligence"

Thanks for the tip off, I won't make the first batch for guests. G

My standard "home" morning coffee is made from Trader Joe's Columbian
beans with a sprinkling of their dark roast beans, ground moments before
brewing.

Smart man. ;)

My favorite blend was some cheaparse decaf from Wally World mixed half
and half with the Sumatran beans from Costco. Costco stopped selling
the Sumatrans, damn them, and their columbian is a weak substitute.
Millstone sumatran is burnt; Kivu is decent but still weak in
comparison with the Costco beans. I can't drink much coffee any more
and it's really ****ing me off that I can't find a decent bean to
grind for under $12/lb. sigh

If you really want good coffee, roast raw beans using a popcorn popper
- instructions on the net. Potential for a little metalworking
content depending on what you do for a roaster. Freshly roasted beans
taste much better than most of what we can buy here in central PA. If
you have a local roaster who roasts daily, it may be different where
you live.

Thanks for the post Jeff.

My morning cup is a cup of house brand instant from Wally World.

One morning while I was occupied I made my usual cup of Wally instant.

While I worked, I drank my coffee....I was 2/3 done with the cup
before I noticed that I had forgotten to put the coffen in and had
been drinking hot water.

I thought that to be very funny....and revealing as to what taste
delight the house brand of Walmart instant is.
