$10/lb is all i seem to be able to find around here. in the scheme of things though, thats really not that bad. i don't mind spending a little extra on something i truly enjoy. god knows i pinch enough pennies lol. and considering i only drink 2 cups a day it should last a while.
i did find a nice mocha coffee bean i enjoy and i grabbed a bag of dunkin' donuts beans on a whim (dunkin' is probably my favorite restaraunt/establishment coffee). i'll get more experimental as time goes on. unfortunately the wife despises coffee (and beer) so its a beverage i have to enjoy solo.
nescafe isn't bad for instant coffee, it actually tastes pretty close to real coffee. i'm not an instant fan usually but many i've tried in the past tasted like what i can only describe as cat urine.
i really wish i could get into tea. i bought a tin of lavendar tea not too long ago but its not something i can drink regularly.
