I am a coffee snob, but I drink Folgers in the morning and the can costs about $5 and it lasts me a couple weeks to a month. I can tell the difference between good coffee and bad coffee, but taste is also an individual thing. I like my coffee pretty strong, and that is one good thing about making my own pot in the morning.
With that said, 4 years ago I bought my dad one of the best gifts I think I have ever given him. I bought him a Saeco coffee machine that makes regular coffee, espresso, and capuccino and I got an attachment that froths the milk with ease. The thing makes single cup servings and grinds the beans. All a person has to do is push a single button for an espresso, and if they want a regular size cup of coffee they have to turn a dial, to increase the water amount, and push a button. Damn thing cost $600 and I am waiting for the day I can buy one for myself. Just might write it of as business equipment and offer my clients espresso when they visit.
Anyway, my dad goes through about 10 pounds of coffee a year through that machine and my mom doesn't drink the stuff.
