@TabinRivCA ,
My fave coffee is, yes, Organics brewed with a light sprinkle of salt and cinnamon in the grounds, unless one prefers the bitter taste. With, yes, a dash of Bliss natural creamer. For less than a buck a cup, it's wonderful:coffee:(y)


Have you tried the organic one from Aldi's? It's single origin so it's not like most that order the cheapest mix from various places. There should be more accountability and quality control with single origin. It's always fresh tasting and consistent.

My favorite is a lighter roast from Peru.

The price is the same as the low quality brands and it's whole bean, which keeps it fresh longer as you grind some each use.

They should send me a box 🎁to post a review for them.☕😎👍🏻
There is an Aldi near and I've been wanting to go back so I will go and check it out, thx:):coffee:(y)

If you need a coffee grinder, your nearby thrift store will likely get one in sooner or later. They're common. Just plug it into an outlet first to make sure it works. I've seen new ones in the box for the price of a bag of coffee at times.

Do you have a coffee or spice grinder? I'm asking because their organic ones are only available in whole bean.

I bet Temu has a 'reasonable' grinder😂 I'll be on the lookout!👍😃

drink whole bean coffee only: Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, Camano Island, Hawaiin Gold Kona & Silky & Smooth.

I use to live in Vermont and went to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters everyday they had samples of every kind of coffee and Jamaican Blue no coffee was more expensive good but not worth the cost for me
indeed, LISDS. we get it thru Amazon. for the JBM Wallenford whole bean version, it's about $100 for 1 pound. best coffee i ever had.

Just joking. A search turned up some real expensive ones that I was surprised are fed to elephants and such. 😆

I'm just happy to be alive and able to eat and drink clean water right now.

I got curious about what happened to the old 8 O'clock grinders that made A&P smell so good. You'll probably need to feel like a billionaire first. 😄
Do you still have A&P in the USA?

And some stores, it is called Metro for a long while here, still have the grinders. :)
I have coffee grinder well worth the investment.

My uncle worked at the last one to close in the US when the franchise shut down a long time ago. When I was a little boy Mom would point out when we would hear someone grinding a pound of coffee and remind me how good it smelled. That was half way across the store! Maybe it's because I can't smell as well these days, but coffee isn't as fragrant as it used to be then.

What kind of grinder do you have?

This is mine.

I have one similar and it works great.
and I also have this one I received as a Christmas present made by Braun, it is nice because you can adjust the settings

I like tea and coffee, but I think the coffee tastes a lot better if you grind the beans yourself.
And some day soon I will figure out how much cheaper it actually is to buy the beans and grind them, I am thinking the machine will pay for itself.:)

Wow, that's a nice one. Mines a cheaper model but gets the job done.
It's over 10 years old. I thought it would need replaced by now.

I agree, grinding whole beans as you go is freshest.

Yes, well, I am working my way up to the billionaire edition, lol

I do like the different settings on it because I do make espresso from time to time.
