Dunkin Donuts. Brew it up strong, and it’s addictive. I haven’t found a coffee that comes close.

Grocery stores have the regular sized bag; Sam’s Club has the 40 oz. size.

Trader Joes has a lot of very good whole bean coffees, if you have them in your area.

For a ground coffee I recently tried some Folgers Gormet Supreme dark blend and I was really surpised. It was very good, medium dark with lots of flavor, but not bitter. Shortly after I saw where it won a blind taste competition, so it’s not just me.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but hubby is. He loves Britt. Everyone he makes it for loves it too. Buys it online.

IMO a couple of the best, at this point in time.

I know them all and the best whole bean coffee today is Costco’s whole bean Columbian. It costs about ten dollars for a big bag and is superior to all of the Starbuck’s whole beans coffee’s which cost more for a smaller bag. I keep my bag in the freezer between brews.

I got some Eight O’Clock regular whole bean recently and it was bad, but I think their French Roast is still surprisingly good. And vacuum-sealed whole beans like that is the way to go unless you’re willing to invest in craft beans.

We’ve been brewing their coffee for years.

There are quite a few choices.

Enjoy!

Before you change coffees (assuming you still have some Eight O'Clock coffee lying around) watch Alton Brown's "Good Eats" episode on coffee. It's on YouTube in parts. I'd tweek your preparation methods first and see if that improves the taste of your coffee.

If it indeed turns out to be the coffee, I'd find a shop that sells whole beans and buy a variety until you find one you really like.

I would like it to be very good.

There are many excellent brands, blends, roast, and grinds of coffee available.

I suggest that you carefully consider your brewing method. One cup a day presents a serious brewing problem. I would suggest you look into cold brewing as well as finding a new brand. An inexpensive French press would work well for cold brewing. For my taste, a French press is the finest way to brew coffee but I've never tried it for one cup.

Don’t laugh ... Big Lots was selling Margaritaville coffee for five bucks a bag. My preference is called “State of Mind”, which is a medium dark roast. And it’s GOOD, too — Buffett has branched out into different food items, and while there have been some misses (such as his tequila), IMHO this is a major hit. I don’t think Big Lots mail-orders, but Walmart does.

Here's Coffee Bean Direct.

Also, I was out of town on business and the hotel I stayed in had Toulouse Coffee. I tried it and it was really, really good. Apparently, it's offered by Royal Cup.
