We love west coast dark roast from superstore for daily coffee but treat ourselves to Rwanda beans from Costco when they have it

Best taste and best value I would have to go with Presidents Choice Coffee at Superstore. On sale a can can be had for $8. We never buy it unless it's on sale, then we stock up. We usually buy the medium roast. That actually applies to all coffee. Folgers and Maxwell House are the equivalent of sewer water. It's cheaper but you get what you pay for. McDonald's and Tim Horton's are always priced to high.

We also don't mess with the bean - we drink our coffee black . Anything else isn't coffee.

I will try beans next, but so far many people like PC ground coffee, they are about $10 a can when on sale limited 4

I drink my coffee black - unpolluted by milks and sugars! - so I like coffee which actually tastes like good coffee.

I find Tim Hortons too bitter and acidic. Folgers and Maxwell House too watered and flavourless. Hipster Charbucks too burnt and overpriced.

McDonalds coffee is surprisingly decent. Some of the Seattle Coffee and Van Hauten blends are good, almost sweet-tasting. "Dark roasted" Nabob and PC and Melitta all fairly good.

I tend to avoid "house blends" because they're usually just a mix of whatever random leftover bean dregs couldn't otherwise be sold.

I assume you're just using the good classic coffee maker? Personally I prefer van houten and McDonald's coffee, but I use a keurig so my results may differ from that of a pot of coffee😊 it all depends if you prefer your coffee more bitter or tart or sweet or medium or light and so on!

Restaurant coffee, McDonald's. For home, eight o'clock coffee.

@yanzhiqiang I was complimented on the last pot of coffee I made with someone. It was Maxwell House. Hazelnut flavored coffee is good in my opinion as well.

@yanzhiqiang PC is a great product. From coffee to cookies!

PC Medium Roast or PC West Coast Dark Roast. Sometimes they go on sale for the same prices as Maxwell House. And the quality is much better!

Personally, I think the brewing method has a huge impact on how the coffee tastes. I won a Stanley French Press from work and ever since Its the only way i brew my coffee. I find it brings out the true flavour of the coffee (also adds a slight oily texture which may not be noticable to the normal coffee user). As for the type of coffee, I like Zavida Hazelnut Vanilla. It's about $20 for a 2lbs (930g) bag but it is so worth it.

French presses are amazing. Probably the best tasting coffee at that price point. (Manual pour over and aeropresses are good options as well).
