Reply to comment by Exit_127 in Local specialty ground coffee beans? by wacholderrose

They're good, but the price is bonkers. Like almost 2x a normal bag.

And more than 2x as good, if you know how to use them. Definitely not worth the money for the Mr Coffee crowd tho (I say this as someone that thinks of coffee as pizza- even bad coffee can be fine, but also I can appreciate the good stuff, not trying to be elitist).

I'm just seeing about $19 a bag online right now which isn't that bad. We bought a bag one day at the public market that was closer to thirty for some reason, which is silly.

You can get plenty of great beans for $15-$16 a bag.

That $30 bag was probably one of their super special limited roast Kenyans. That stuff is expensive for a reason.

Oh wow yeah $15-19 is what I was thinking, vs $10-12 at the grocery store… never seen a $30 bag myself so that makes some sense
