Cheap but good coffee

@edenspeak Harris 1kg beans goes on amazon sale quite often around 15 AUD

@edenspeak Probably not in the dirt cheap range, but my current go to is the Vietnamese G7 coffee from the local Asian stores. Around $18 for a 50 pack (approx 800 grams), I get the 3 in 1, just add hot water!

@edenspeak Can’t wait to try this, thanks for the tip!

@edenspeak I can't stand instant anymore. Rarely find a barista coffee that is drinkable too. Enter Jeds #3 bags. Winner! Price has almost doubled over the past 3 years but I can actually drink it. Tried going back to instant, even Jeds instant, but nope, cant stand it. Somehow the bags win.

@wildcatfan09 Bags contain microplastics

 

[wildcatfan09]

@melco Everything does...

 

[melco]

@wildcatfan09 Yeah but you don't actually want to heat them up with boiling water and then put consume them.

 

[wildcatfan09]

@melco The key to using bags is to wait for the water to stop moving after it boils. The temp is then about 25° less than the melting point of said plastics.

@edenspeak All coffee is adequate when mixed with milk and sugar

 

[edenspeak]

@resjudicata Nope. I use both, but bad coffee can still have bitterness or lack of flavour.

 

[resjudicata]

@edenspeak Sorry but I think you know nothing about coffee and that's ok

 

[tree320]

@edenspeak Any recommendations for expresso?

 

[edenspeak]

@tree320 If there's a Roastery near you, (and you like their stuff) check out their factory shop price, can be a fair bit cheaper than retail, and much fresher. Here in Taranaki I'd be checking Wildcat and Inca-fe, two of my favourites.
