It’s definitely worth checking out, especially when it goes on sale, which it seems to do semi-often.

I have seen this coffee a few times and considered purchasing a bag to give it a try, not sure with the three cup rating that I will be trying the French Vanilla.

Thirty pounds for $10! What a great deal.

I rarely get grocery store coffees, but there are some that are better than others. So far, Eight O’Clock coffee is better than others.

From what you’ve commented before, I would say that this wouldn’t be a coffee you’d like. And I agree, for myself I have no problem paying more for fresh coffee.

Good point. I guess I never considered that coffee was packaged months or years prior. I prefer it fresh even though it may be more expensive. This coffee doesn’t sound like it would be for me.

This is my favorite “grocery store” coffee. I once took advantage of a sale & coupons to purchase 30 lbs for $10. Yes, the cashier and those in line behind me looked at me like I was on some kind of drugs. Did they not realize I was not planning on drinking it all at once? =)

But, yes-in general I am against grocery store coffees due to their use-by date. I just cannot fathom the idea of drinking year-old coffee when I can get some that has been roasted that day!
