Oh heck, Randita - use a French press! They make the best coffee you’ve ever tasted no matter what the brand. It’s a minimal investment and deeply satisfying.
Seattle’s Best is the best major brand, imho. It’s available at Target (lowest price) and every grocery chain in Arizona.

I second what a lot of others said. Use filtered water. A lot of municipalities tinker with their tap water formulation, and even your own well water can change its taste depending on what's going on in the aquifer.

I'm assuming b/c of your rural location you'll look at mail order. Roasted in Maine . They know what they are doing. Consistently superior whole beans.
“Wonder why it’s gotten so awful. “
Could be your coffee maker. I assume it is a drip maker? Sometimes they get clogged with calcium deposits or the heating elements change and it doesn’t brew at the correct temperature.
The best drip maker I’ve ever owned in the past 45 years is a Zojirushi.
Peet’s Coffee
I also drink only one cup a day and really like the Peet’s. It’s in the Safeway/Randall’s/Tom Thumb chains, also available online.
I’ll second and third other posters who recommend coffeebeandirect.com. Have used them for a long time. Good prices, good service, good coffee beans. I buy roasted, whole beans in 5 pound bags, usually 5 bags of various kinds to get free shipping. I go for lighter roasts and low-acid coffees. Sumartra, Kenya AA, Columbian, etc. Lately I’ve been buying their half-caf/haf-decaf mixes to save me the effort of doing that myself. I have not liked their own blends, like Morning Blend for example, at all! Tastes to me like their special blends were crap they swept up off the floor. Also, avoid buying coffeebeandirect coffees from amazon. They are stale, stale, stale from sitting around at Amazon.
I order from coffeebeandirect.com over the weekend so they ship on Monday, to give them a full five days for shipment without having the coffee beans sit in some unheated/uncooled UPS warehouse or truck over the weekend.
