Dollar for dollar, it's hard to beat the stuff that Costco carries. It's usually pretty fresh, the roasts are consistent and well done and it's priced really inexpensively.

The problem is getting in and out of Costco without fill your basket with $300 worth of other crap you don't need.

@matt1976: Don Pablo, all the way :) we buy in bulk, but it never lasts. Or maybe we drink too much coffee.

Zekes! http://www.zekescoffee.com/

However, I have been buying Dunkin Donuts from BJ's because it is a lot cheaper. The $14/pound prices at Zekes is a little high but probably worth it. It is WAY better than that 1000 Faces stuff wine.woot sometimes has IMO.

I don't mind Peet's, if we're talking grocery store coffee. When I'm in a city where I can get fresh roasted, I'll always prefer that. There's a local roaster that shows up at the farmer's markets, here, so I buy from him when he's there. I've ordered from several places online. My very first deal was from a place in (of all things) Wisconsin.

Ancora is pretty good, as long as you want what they have, or like blended coffee. I prefer varietals to be pure. If I want a blend, I'll blend it. Peet's has a holiday special of JBM and Kona that I give myself as a gift in December, although it was sold out this year before I got to it. :-(

There are many places that I like that would not be able to take the traffic from Deals dot Woot, so no sense naming them. I do love coffee, though. Mmmmm. Coffee GOOD.

Oh, and I'm with the no love for Caribou.

Fresh Market has some pretty good coffees, and so does Gevalia.

@benyust2: Don't forget about Kona from BJ's! My wife adores that stuff. And freshly hand ground by yours truly, it's some of the best coffee she's ever found.

For store brands, Yea.. Costo's Kirkland signature Colombian coffee Supremo Bean Dark Roak Fine Grind. Its not as bitter as Starbuck's.

@miyoshinum5: I don't know if it's what they carry all over the country, but on the west coast they've got San Fransisco Bay or something like that. There's a free trade, shade grown organic that's a little weak on flavor, but it's super low acid and rather high caffeine. I can drink it all day without getting a gut ache.

@figgers3036: When you buy it and brew it yourself it doesn't have that burnt taste. I don't know what they do to make it taste that way at Starbucks but it's just bloody awful!

Volcanica pea berry Jamaican blue mountain, kona, costa rican,and kenya aa.

Tim Hortons. Love me a Double Double..

Sweet Maria's green coffee beans that you roast yourself with a air pop pop corn popper.

Donut Shop coffee for a Keurig is awesome.

everyday i wake up
i pour myself a cup
of that rich folger's aroma
the best part of waking up!
it's the doo wop doo wop
in all i do
that mountain grown aroma
always coming through!
oh the best part of waking up
is folger's in your cup
doo doo doo

My locally available go to brand is Eight'O Clock, usually the Hazelnut or Original flavors. For home use, I always buy whole bean as I use a burr grinder and, usually, a french press.

At work we use pre-ground coffee and one of us brings in coffee when needed. Chock Full of Nuts and Maxwell House are most common, but about the only thing I've found that I don't like is Folgers, though I will drink it rather than do without.

I like Papa Nicholas.
