Why I drink cheap coffee in the morning…
Related entries in Coffee Experiences, Coffee MachinesI live in a place where you can’t swing a stick downtown without hitting organic coffee. All the grocery stores on Island carry organic coffee. So, why do I drink cheap-o MJB coffee? Well, it’s cheap. The other thing is that I’ve found that no matter how good the coffee is a basic auto-drip machine wrecks the coffee. That hotplate just makes anything taste like dreck. So, since my first mugs of coffee are intended as rocket fuel, not a taste celebration, I drink cheap coffee first.
Now, for that afternoon cup. Something to sip a savour a bit. Oh yeah, I go for the good stuff. Right now it’s a medium/dark blend by Creekmore Coffee called Rhumba.
Of course for company, company gets the good stuff. At least most of the time ;-).

life is too short to drink bad coffee.
other than this, cheap coffee contributes to declining prices and is starving hard working smallholding families growing high quality arabica.

I agree with this Alistair guy. You can have a simple morning coffee ritual that is quick, easy, and sublime using fresh roasted, gground, and prepared coffee. Do this either at home, or find the cafes or businesses that serve great coffee and support them. Respect coffee and it will respect you back.
