I often thought how coffee shops” themselves could survive since they sell a product that each of us can make at home. I think Starbucks, et. al., is just doing some plain ol’ marketing and/or expanding its potential customer base by making their coffee available to different home brewing systems. I agree with another freeper about Newman’s coffees. I like Caribou also.
You can choose from hundreds of different kinds of beans and roast them to a degree that suits your taste and caffeine level. Once you get hooked on doing it yourself, all commercial coffee tastes burnt and oxidized. (yuck)
Check out "sweetMarias.com" they have a great selection of roasters and green beans. You will never go back.
Stay away from Caribou, they are owned by the National bank of Bahrain and support Islamic causes......
