We roast our own beans, so I rarely get reminded just how bad some brands are. But traveling the past few days has made it clear to me that Maxwell House tastes like burnt-from-4-hours-on-a-burner even when made fresh. Folgers is pretty decent, and 8 o'clock is just damned good.

Or is that just me?

I buy whole beans, Kirkland Columbian at Costco, but when in a pinch I'll buy 8 O'clock Italian Roast which is decent. I haven't bought canned coffee in 40 years.

thats the good stuff! I like it, but had to stop getting it because of low funds. now we mostly get Folgers, its just right for the price, though I wouldnt suggest preground coffee as a connoisseur
