In an effort to spend less I'm evaluating all of my spending to see where I can save money. One thing I am not willing to compromise on is good coffee, but I'm wondering if I can find a more affordable option that will still taste great. I had been ordering from Blue Bottle, but have recently switched to primarily buying from Whole Foods, which saves me some money, but I'm wondering about what's available at Costco - both the Kirkland brand and the others they sell. Has anyone tried them that can share their experiences?
I tend to like medium roasts - Guatemalan & Mexican beans seem to be good options when I'm trying a new roaster so I got interested in the Kirkland Guatamalan, but though its labeled as a medium roast, the reviews seem to indicate its very dark. 4-6 lbs of coffee is no small commitment for someone living alone who generally drinks one cup a day so input is appreciated!
