Coffee supply chain interruption?

I saw on Fakebook that coffee supply is going to disrupted. I been try different brands of K Cup the last couple years. I purchased a box of 80 Founding Fathers french roast @ Rural King for $20. I usually hand pack Seattle Best Portside blend. I have to say FF is probably the best I've tasted out of the Keurig yet. They also claim to donate 50% of the profits to military families.

On a note I use 2 pods at the 8oz. setting. Sounds a bit wasteful but it is what I like the best so far.

  Coffee is a personal thing. :smitten:  I enjoy Folgers . :angel: I buy when on sale and keep it available . :evil: Without coffee I think my heart would stop. :'( I think I have about six cans :P. It is my biggest vice. :cooldude:

I order in 3 lbs packages from Coffee Beanery when on a discount, like most things these days does not hurt to stock-up a few extras.

   Like Ross-da prez-I stock up when it's on sale. Folgers and an 100% Arabica Dark Roast from Aldi. Folgers daily and that Dark Roast bout once a week or so. Started drinking coffee as a kid drove truck-ALWAYS 2 Stamley Stainless steel 2 quart thermoses filled at breakfast to git me through the rest of the day. Gave up nicotine some years back BUT NOT ready to give up my caffeine! RIDE SAFE.

Personally I like Black Rifle coffee.  Been using if for almost a year now.  We both like it.

I had to shift to decaf in the evenings after dinner though to help he sleep better...  But.. that life.

Gotta have my coffee..... the wife buys bags of seasoned coffee beans and we grind about half a bag at a time.   We got plenty in stock.

We've been drinking Black Rifle coffee for the past 3 or 4 years. I actually got our local hunting/fishing store in our little town to bring it in and stock it. Out of all the reasonably priced coffee we've tried, this is the best tasting...just coffee, no other after taste or anything. Their decaf is also the closet to regular coffee taste in my mind.
I only drink coffee in the mornings now...never after noon...unless maybe on a long ride somewhere. I always convinced myself that coffee counted for water in terms of having an adequate water intake daily...apparently that's not the case. Energy is better, and I sleep better. Took me a few decades, but I finally started listening to the Mrs and my aging body is liking it :)

I did switch to decaf in the evenings.  Limited to two cups in the AM and two cups in the PM.   


..

I've drunk maybe 5 cups in my life and tasted about 20 different varieties.

2 in the AM, 1 cold cup large at lunch through the afternoon, 1 after dinner bedtime, all full strength.  :D ;D

It helps me to sleep

I have 4-5 cups every morning.

It's my way of paying my prostate back (drown you bastard).   ;D

Been drinking coffee since I got to fight wildfires starting back in '69.  Only thing that kept us going on those 48 hours plus.  Now only drink two cups in the mornings.   DW has been buying MJB for a number of years.  Do like my two cups. :smitten:

Dennis, I haven't had a drop of alcohol in several years.

I've never had a drinking problem (which is what everyone thinks when you say this), but I've just lost my taste for it (even beer).

If I was with friends (like on a bike rally), I'd probably have a couple beers (and get goofy), but I just don't feel like drinking alone anymore.

My principle beverages are 0% milk, coffee, cranberry juice and water.

Bought Starbucks brand.   I say seasoned....on the package it says "Spicey and refined dark roast whole bean coffee with rare aged sumatra.  She found it at a sale somewhere and bought about 40 1lb bags and for $1.59 a 1lb bag and put them in the freezer. Grinds about half a bag and mixes 50/50 with Folgers breakfast blend.  Pretty good coffee
