you can drink chicory if you dont wanna pay for coffee. thats what they did in the great depression

its the drink equivalent of expensive shaving cream

Buying ground coffee is a waste, especially 5 pounds of it.

Death wish coffee is a meme. If you want actual good coffee, try (expensive) third wave roasters online: Heart, Ruby, Verve, Counter Culture, Onyx are some names.

Coffee is a meme

Received some for Christmas. Tastes fine, definitely a bigger jolt. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it

>>12729403
Just a meme. It's "okay" coffee at best.

Better coffee can be had from local roasters or even roasters from any state in the US that sells online. You'll get coffee roasted within the last few days instead of over a month ago.

I like to drink my cheap instant coffee with 80% milk and A LOT of sugar.

It's great if you like hot bitter bullshit.

>buying pre ground coffee

>pay $80 to have my bowls ejected in the flurry of hell fire

>>12729403
No, it's absolutely garbage.
Their idea of a "bold" and "rich" coffee is a burnt roast, and they don't even roast to order, so you know that coffee is sitting pre-ground in a warehouse somewhere for a month before you get it, and by then whatever nuance of flavor might have been left behind is gone.

>>12729403
>Is this coffee actually any good

No because coffee is garbage by default

>>12729609
It's quite the healthy drink and pretty tasty to boot unless you happen to be a faggot with the palate of a child.

>>12729403
what makes if different to every other coffee? is it just the skull on the bag, do teenagers really drink that much coffee because who else would buy stuff with skulls on it

>>12729438
You being heterosexual is a meme.

>>12729403
You gotta be joking. Ground coffee, 5 lbs, 80 greenbacks.

Goddamn.

>>12729403
>Is this coffee actually any good (and worth the money) or is it just a way to rip off soylentsexuals?

5lb bag. K. Do your math, that's $16/pound. Pound is 16 ounces (and by the way at the store(s), bags of coffee aren't all 16oz/1 lb bags anymore, but vary from 8 to 12ounces, whereas some are still 1lb, and the "large" bags of coffee can be like only 1.5 to 2lb bags, just fyi, that's gone on all over the groceries if you aren't like a Costco shopper. Anyway.... So, about $1/ounce. And, about 1 ounce of coffee in a coffee maker per brewed cup for like drip, maybe a bit more coarsely ground.

Is that worth it to you? It might be the most mediocre or most amazing coffee, if it is your preference. Notice there wasn't a choice of grind you could buy this (oddly enough just "ground" which isn't very professional). I wouldn't be buying 5lbs of any coffee in the world if I didn't know I already liked that coffee and that roast level and it was freshly ground for me. I wouldn't be buying already ground beans in bulk, either. But you know your consumption levels and say you intended to host a lot of people in your house for a weekend of houseguests, or a lot of roommates, you'd go through it pretty quickly, okay then.

Just to compare, Dunkin on their website sells 1lb bags, not at $16, but at $9, or 3 bags for $22, but will give you 30% off that as a subscription. At the store, the bags are only 12oz. Walmart's best price is .44/oz on the larger bag.

If you want to try to some good things, find a roaster locally and go sample some things. Or ask these people to sell you a smaller bag and sample it. I find the special reserve edition coffees to be just that, special. You can even go into Starbucks and sample them, and if you like it and don't own a grinder, get them to coarse grind some whole beans back into the bag. I often find delicious coffee at Target, finished my 3rd bag of the Ethiopian yirgacheffe.

You really don't see the irony having the NPC wojak being a programmed response for hipster things you don't like? Typical reddit zoomer.

>some flyover amerifriends have to buy ground coffee online and have to juggle the numbers between walmart and some edgy brand they found on the internet
>i just go to any good coffee roaster in town and buy whole beans for not even 20€/kg

feels good to live in the civilized world

I know right, how will you ever eat cereal again?

>>12729403
any coffee you can buy off amazon is unironically bad.

>>12729403
It's a robusta heavy blend made explicitly for more caffeine content…
Everyone knows robusta tastes like old tires.

>>12729403
It's a meme but it isn't too bad. Does not deserve to be that expensive though.

/k/

>>12729645
it’s honestly not that much per/pound for organic coffee you poor cheapfgt

>>12729403
It tastes decent but you can get coffee that tastes way better in that price point. It doesn't taste like battery acid compared to everyone else who just roasts everything super light. If you want more drugs then just take a caffeine pill with your non-meme good coffee and skip the Death Wish hipster tax.

>>12729416
it's actually good and you don't need to do business with niggers in order to obtain it

>>12729403
why would you ever want "the world's strongest coffee"? really dark roasted (aka burned) coffee is shit.

>>12729403
I think it tastes fucking amazing and it definitely wakes me up in the morning. I am never going to pay full price for that shit, though. Where I am, a pound of it is 20 bucks.

>>12730324

Yo the Vietnamese place I go to uses this for their viet iced coffee. They brew it super strong and then add condensed milk it's the absolute bomb diggity

>>12729660
you never closed your first parenthesis

>>12729989
>coffee roaster in town
Is that next to the haberdashery or the apothecary? Fucking Euros.

>>12729403
It's just a meme coffee. Always buy whole bean. There are coffee review websites where you can find well priced coffees rated well over 90/100. Also you can use the drinktrade website to try out decent coffees that aren't standard grocery store/walmart brands. Anons have said it used to be only a subscription service, but I was able to buy bags without any subscription.

>>12729403
just get a bean supremo from costco
that shit is amazing for the price and there's a fuckload of coffee in there

>>12729403
If your after just a high caffeine fix, buy 100% robusta coffee. Way cheaper.

>>12730332
I pay about $10-12 per pound for organic whole beans in Dallas and I have a selection of like 50 to choose from as well as a choice on how it's ground. 5 lbs of ground coffee for $80 is a dumb buy.
