Costco whole bean coffees....depending on brand like Peets or Lavazza [! when they have it...] can be had for about $13 for 2lb when on sale...less if you buy Kirkland brand.

Yep. I normally go for the Columbian or the House Blend (Costco-rebranded Starbucks), whichever's on sale. Tried the San Francisco Bay French Roast last trip - wheeeeee! Octane rating too high for me - back to Columbian.

Bought a OXO grinder and French press carafe from Amazon. The carafe fills up my 2 travel mugs, with a splash left over for that pre-sugar and whipping cream jolt.

Oh yeah! Have some waiting for the grinder!

I DO like a strong cup.

My store currently has Peets French Roast already ground on sale...its ok for my current everyday. But it does NOT make good moka pot coffee...way too strong and muddy tasting.
