What kind of (plain/unflavored) coffee do you buy from your grocery store?!
Answers: What brand of unflavored coffee is a good brand?
All coffees have a regional flavor depending on the region that they are grown. Latin American Coffees tend to be more nutty and acidic. African tend to be floral and fruity. Asian coffees are more earthy and bold. I prefer coffees that are multi-region. They tend to be complex where one flavor doesn't dominate over the other. If you want a medium intensity that is well balanced go with Starbucks House blend. If you enjoy bold and smooth, go with Cafe Estima. My favorites are the Verona and Italian Roast. Starbucks always offers a free sample of the coffee that they are brewing. It's a great way to get familiar with coffee and find what you like instead of buying a whole pound. They have to take classes and can point you in the right direction.
Plain Folgers. It's not great.
The one's they sell at starbucks are not bad. Plus, you can choose if you want it mild or bold. They also come in from different countries, so you get a wide variety.
i like maxwell house and eight oclock coffee
Kirkland brand from Costco is where I buy coffee...
Community (red bag)
Starbuck's Breakfast Blend
Krispy Kreme's "Smooth" blend (yellow bag)
If you are near a Costco, their own roasted coffee is great and very inexpensive.
I try to buy Fair Trade Coffee, the dark Fench Roast kind.
It's pricey, but I feel better knowing people get paid fairly.
