Previously my husband has been using whole bean starbucks but we're trying to trim our budget a bit. Which brand of coffee do you use at home?
Bonus points for buying online and/or whole beans!

If you have a Costco membership, their Kirkland brand beans are just like Starbucks (say so on the bag). That is what I use.

I use whatever I have a coupon for...but I don't like Starbucks coffee. I've been happy with gevalia French roast and caribou coffee caribou blend. I also really like archer farms (target brand) coffee!

Another Kirkland user here (DH is the coffee drinker not me) but he says they're great.

Pre-ground Folgers... yuck,
We get Starbucks Sumatra for special occasions though - it's really hard to go back to Folgers after that!
@purrpletulips: @prettylizy: Kirkland brand, huh? I guess I'll have to check it out!! If I could find something with a price between Starbucks and Folgers that was good I'd be ecstatic!

My husband likes Eight O'Clock coffee. He gets the 100% Columbian whole bean variety. I'm not picky about coffee so I don't know if it's really any good. But that's what he gets!

@swurlygurl: I think the Kirkland brand was like $13 for 2.5lbs of whole beans

@dagret: we use to like Gevalia but have found lately their quality has dropped - big time!
@twodoghouse: we've both tried eight o clock before but are not fans.
@purrpletulips: hm we have a BJs membership and I've been drinking their ground decaf and don't think it's bad. Maybe he'll give their whole bean a try.

@regberadaisy: we don't have a BJs around me. I just recently started drinking coffee but have bought the Sam's club brand for work and they don't mind it too much (they're regular coffee is Starbucks)

I'm not that picky with my coffee. We always use whole bean. Peets when it's on sale - 7.99, I just tried Caribou for the first time when it was b1g1, so $9.99 for 2 bags. This wasnt whole bean, but I finally broke down and tried the Kahlua coffee from TJmaxx and it was pretty good.

Folgers simply smooth but I'm not that picky. Simply smooth mainly because it upset my stomach less when I was pregnant.

Another vote for either Zavida or Kirkland brand (depends on whether me or DH hits the coffee aisle first). We also like Wegmans store brand a lot.

We order Tonx. It's actually pretty cool. They sources the best coffee (it comes from Columbia, Argentina, Puerto Rico, etc) then roast it and ship it straight to your door within 24 hours. My husband is a coffee connoisseur and Tonx has been some of the best that he's ever had. It's whole bean so you have to either have a grinder or take it somewhere to be ground but the coffee is fantastic. It's pretty affordable too. We get a shipment every 2 weeks and I believe it's around $13 or $15 each time.

@mrs. High heels: what I use (green bag) is just house blend but I think they have a dark roast

...and then we drink it with sweetened condensed milk. So good!

@regberadaisy: Wegmans whole bean Columbian is awesome. We grind/use our french press every morning and love it!
