Cheap Coffee of the Week — MR. COFFEE DARK ROAST

Posted at 5:00 am | Filed Under blog

I didn’t know Mr. Coffee sold coffee! This was on closeout at Walgreens, and brewed be a surprisingly nice cuppa. Medium to dark body, not overly bitter, and a nice punch to it – I made one cup to get me awake at oh-dark-hundred and made another cup in my travel mug for the road. […]

Folgers was on sale for $4.99/10.5 ounce can at Safeway. It’s nowhere near as smooth as Yuban Original, but rich with nuances of formica counters, leatherette and chrome stools, heavy diner mugs, pies in refrigerated cases and waitresses named Vera.

Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under blog

Decent coffee? AT TARGET? Cheap. $6.79/12 oz bag. Ground or whole bean. Italian, French, Columbian and Guatemalan blends. Surprisingly smooth, not the freshest beans in the bag, but buzzworthy. Worth a look. Target sometimes has small bags of coffee for $1 and online $1 off coupons. Doesn’t get much cheaper than FREE.
