Does anyone have any good American-grown coffee brands? I am not paying $24 for bottom shelf coffee with these tariffs.

>>21539325 (OP)
>good American coffee
oxymoron

>>21539328
The cheapest "discount" coffee I can find is $24. I'll take anything as long as it's affordable, but the stores I go to don't stock American coffee.

>>21539328
Imported, obviously.
Autistic prick.

>>21539325 (OP)
tea is still cheap

8 O'Clock is my go-to for grocery store coffee, whole bean or ground

>>21539330
not a coffee drinker but these prices seem insane, I thought it was like $8

>>21539985
go grocery shopping and own the libs. this is a consumer tax for trumps old man tantrums on Brazil.

theres only one state that has the climate and its tiny.

Apparently OP thinks 'grown' and 'imported' are the same thing and it is obvious and you're both autistic and a prick if you question it.

You're fucked, Either don't drink coffee or pay the tariff

>>21540005
because tea is disgusting. real men (the ones who hate Obama anyways) drink coffee.

Stop soliciting narcotics, junkie.

Why isnt there a cheaper coffee? We have land to grow it from. I was pro-tarrifs but I didnt realize how hard it'd be to find affordable coffee. It's no longer a staple of a work day, it's a literal luxury item now.
>>21540005
I dont like tea, it's for fags. Isn't it going to get tariffed too?

>>21540626
These are premium coffee prices, and Maxwell House is desperation tier. Just a couple months ago, this same can was $12.

Let's not turn this into a rape. Bend over and keep your mouth shut

>>21539325 (OP)
Funny enough I have always bought "good" coffee and it used to be expensive but I just soldiered on, now the cheap shit is also expensive but the good stuff hasn't gone up in price much. Since the gap between price of good shit and "cheap" shit is much smaller than it used to be, there's really no reason to fuck with the bottom shelf anymore. Same story as fast food, I'm not paying $38 for a sack of burgers.

>>21541174
Why would you say that?

here's your american coffee. it seems like it's kind of expensive though.

>>21541186
Because if you scream it's only going to make me harder.

You can buy 100 caffeine pills (100mg each) for $11.49 CAD from Shoppers Drug Mart. Pop 1 or 2 per day. Cheap.

I turned to pills because store bought coffee makes me shit ALL day. Same for many cafes' "hippy dippy save the plenty organic fair trade" blends, Tim Hortons, etc. They're all burned charcoal shit.

McDonald's is literally the only coffee that doesn't make me shit and give me hemorrhoids and a "glass shards crammed in my asshole ring" feeling.

It's kinda fucked up that I can have 100 to 250mg of caffeine per day, and have 0 issues. I guess the answer is: NO, coffee is NOT good for you.

I don't just quit coffee because I need it to function. I work from home doing software tinkering, and I'm incapable of sleeping before 2am. Some days I must wake up at 8am for meetings, and if I don't fall asleep until 4am because I'm working on a side project I get pissed off, cus I know the next day I'm going to feel like shit. Theres too little time in 24 hours to make meaningful progress on shit. 80% of the time I just don't even bother setting an alarm and sleep in like a Chad. My obese manager doesn't say shit cus he knows my skills BTFO pea brain.

t. Colitis haver

>>21541263
>because store bought coffee makes me shit
Coffee makes me shit one time as soon as I start drinking it and that's a big part of the appeal. Take my morning shit after coffee and I don't have to worry about pooping for the whole day.

>>21539985
And conservatives don't have to pay the tariff prices. They get a pass for electing a real man. Just the stupid libs have to. As a punishment for opposing american greatness again and patriotism.
The prices don't change for us with the red hats. kek

>>21541307
Well duh, that's what coffee does to normies. But it brews me up and swallows me on a full gulp, spewing shit all over. Glass sphincter ouchies.

>>21541153
>I was pro-tarrifs
>tarrifs

You can't make this shit up! Not only are you dumb, but you just trusted your fake-tan leader when he promoted this plan. The ENTIRE world told you it was stupid and would make things cost way more but you just trusted those 'tarrifs'.

And now that you SEE what happens you still support the man. You just want some magical cheaper coffee.
And you people seriously don't get why the rest of America and the world think you're fucking trailer trash retard people. HELLO!!! You made your bed and you're lying in it. Still not clear though, is it?

>I need it to function

You are pathetic. No one needs drugs to wake up.

Do some research to see if you have a local roaster.

Or don't and just buy whatever coffee is roasted (and ground if you prefer) domestically. There's a certain brand that's based out of Seattle that's usually cheaper than other domestic brands. It's just the quality and freshness are considered questionable. But it's your money.

>>21541322
umm chill out bro
>>21541323

>>21541324
I need it to function on sub 7 hours of sleep, read my fucking blog post, baby

just go to mexico and bring back giant bags of coffee, you just have to declare them or else the border dogs will tear them up

Coffee barely grows in America, it's not hot and humid enough in like 95% of the country. The "coffee belt" where the vast worldwide majority is grown is literally just the equator because that's where the coffee plants grow the best, they like infinite sunlight and high humidity. Tea plants have a similar production distribution for the same reason

>>21541331
My art town has 3 local roasters stinking up the place. If you think their coffee isn't DOUBLE what the supermarkets sell it for you're out of your mind. "Locally made" or "Locally Organically Crafted" or any of that is no longer a good deal. It's no cheaper than the boutiques it's shipped off to.

>>21541417
>sub 7 hours of sleep
I do this by drinking the remaining alcohol left in whatever I was drinking the night before and buying 7/11 chicken wings for breakfast on my way to work, I actually rarely drink caffeine anymore and when I do it's because I want a tasty iced tea or hot cup of joe for the flavor and refreshment/warming quality more than the caffeine

>>21541432
Most coffee in the world is harvested and processed with slave labor in south asian, african, and central/south american countries which is why the cheap stuff is so cheap. Growing and harvesting coffee is extremely labor intensive, each individual coffee bean is the seed of a coffee tree fruit and the fruit has to be stripped away and discarded. It's the same reason cashews are expensive

>>21541432
My point was he could just pay top dollar for less shit arabica coffee instead of whatever robusta+arabica blend is in the big plastic tubs. I used to be into coffee autism, but stopped giving a fuck and just buy instant.

>>21541450
>stopped giving a fuck and just buy instant.
Unironically based, I started doing this years ago. Coffee autism is even worse than beer autism, and even less justified because instant coffee tastes perfectly fine as opposed to macro pissbeer which always tastes kind of nasty

>>21541490
I drank enough coffees to be able to taste the subtle differences, but I always preferred dark or "french" roasts. As in darker than what coffee autists call "full city," so essentially burnt. I then realized I was just buying lighter roasts to drink coffee I didn't actually enjoy. Waste of money.

>>21541516
There are flavor differences for sure, I tended to like medium/dark roasts as well solely for their flavor and didn't like light roasts and some coffees absolutely taste better than others. But I'm not going to turn my nose up at Nescafe, because it tastes perfectly fine

>>21541263
I have the same issue for some reason. But I don't have issues with tea, yerba mate, pure caffeine supplements, etc.

Cocoa is actually a decent alternative to coffee if you make it yourself and not with the instant mixes. But drinking too much can cause digestive issues for me too.

>>21539328
The best coffee in the world is produced in the USA. Just pay the money for good coffee OP, it’s worth it. What else are you gonna spend it on?

>>21541636
>What else are you gonna spend it on?
BMW keys

>>21541637
>BMW
You’re going to have to deal with a whole lot of mechanical problems and then you really will be paying some serious money. Just treat yourself to some nice coffee instead

>>21541153
Because we can't grow coffee domestically. The only place we can reliably do so is Hawaii. There isn't a ton of land. They would have to cease all other economic activity, all other agriculture to just grow coffee and it would not be enough.

Coffee is why blanket tariffs are a mistake, but strategic tariffs can work if the person implementing them is smart.

>>21541203
wtf is that price

Jamaican coffee is the best in the world. Haitian coffee could be just as good but they can’t get their shit together

Im pretty happy with cafe bustelo

I ordered like 320 oz of Community coffee off Amazon for $80 bucks 2 weeks ago do people not just search ground coffee sales on a search engine and look at the deals? hell right now it's still 64 oz for $18 on there.

>>21539332
how is that going to avid the tariffs?
you could benefit from being more autistic.

>>21543275
How were we supposed to know, jackass?

I remember that the only coffee so called produced in the us is Krona right and that's probably not the one you're looking for

You can get some chitlin coffee or whatever it is, idk....lole

>>21541534
Speaking of Nescafe, that's definitely one product where the private label dupes are noticeably worse. No other brand does dark roasted instant.

Subsidize Big Energy drinks.
We could have $1 sips the big beautiful red bull.

>>21543937
energy drinks are horrible for you.
coffee is good for you.
hope this helps.

If you can't find a local one or a store that offers local products you're just fucked

>>21541636
>10% kona

>>21546292
It clearly says right on the package that it’s 100% Kona. Now, what you will find in the grocery stores that say Kona is nearly always only 10% Kona

Do they grow local coffee in Ohio? Is hydroponic coffee a thing? Could i just grow my own?

>>21539325 (OP)
>American-grown coffee brands?
do we grow beans in the US other than Hawaii? I just brought some peaberry beans back from Costa Rica in my luggage. I wish I had bought more. Amazing.

I just buy the BOGO bags at publix if it's a brand I have liked in the past. It can vary from Starbucks to Community to Peets. I lean towards darker roasts, so your tastes may vary. Ideally, I'll buy my 2-3lb bags of whole beans at Costco. I have good luck just using the grinders there and using up a bag. Stays fresh and it's more consistent grind than my smaller burr grinder at home. I will sometimes buy the single estate/limited edition stuff in the Starbucks store, and get it ground before I leave. In the grocery, it'll be 10oz bag, but nearly double the size in the store. Same deal with Dunkin, where you get the 1lb bag on site.

Good luck shopping.

Just stop enjoying things. Enjoying things is for the job creators. You're embarrassing nouveau riche if you expect to have coffee and other luxuries. What's next, air conditioning? Fucking commies I swear to god. Don't like america? Then move to venezuela with the bartender.

>>21541323
Miss me yet?

>>21541263
I also buy caffeine pills, and I'm not going to both with the conversions but you can get 100 pills of 100mg on amazon for roughly $2-3 USD.
As to the coffee, I have good and bad news. Coffee has antidepressant properties not found in pure caffeine; it's the flavonoids and other phytocompounds. You're probably just reacting to them aversely. You should try to see if you react badly to black or green tea as well.

Also try combining it with L-theanine for a syngergistic effect.

You might be able to find some Puerto Rican coffee for less, but it might also depend on where in the US you live. I can't speak to the quality of the brands that compete with Maxwell House though, I just cough up the money for the Colombian stuff.

>>21547356
>If tariffs are bad why are other countries tariffing us?
Because they don't have a choice. They also need to protect their own economies from the resulting surplus to prevent a crash. Example, if France sells a lot of wine to the US, and now the US is taxing imports of French wine, that means (in the short term at least) less wine is leaving France for the US since it's more expensive. In this scenario, if the French government doesn't respond with a tariff of their own on US wines, then the prices of wine in the French market might suddenly and steeply drop because they are still importing some US wine in addition to their own domestic production. This is bad for French wine producers and, if it's really bad, can force them out of business. In reality, we saw this happen at a larger scale between the EU and the US with liquor and wine, not just individual European countries.

>>21539325 (OP)
Too bad you fuckers haven't heard of discount grocery stores and places like TJMaxx. The discount grocers have shit that's about to "expire" but I've never had any problems with it. TJMaxx has random brands but they are decent, my guests compliment my coffee when they come over in the mornings.

the American Caribbean territories are all in the "bean belt". some of the most renowned coffee in the world grows in Hawaii.
the issue is American-grown coffee is built around small-batch gourmet varieties rather than mass production, and switching over takes time. The smart thing to do would be to increase the tariff incrementally to wean producers into growing it domestically, but the problem there is Trump only has one term and it's almost guaranteed any successive administration isn't going to maintain his long-term economic plans. So we either go all-in now, or never.

Thank you Donald Dumpf, the worst American President of my lifetime!

The jamaican coffee meme dates from the dark ages of coffee when growing, sorting, and processing were so primitive people just went by the country of origin. It's not that jamaica doesn't make good coffee but everywhere else has gotten so much better that jamaica isn't anything special these days (but is still absurdly high priced)

Your average run $25 of the mill costa rican from george howell or whatever will run circles around a generic $80 bag of jamaican coffee but no one wants to hear it and they'll cry sour grapes

This video explains it very well, I think. If countries do not respond it's just signaling to the entire world that you can tariff them with no consequences. So even if it's painful short term doing nothing it's worse in the long run because of the foreign policy implications.

Like getting punched and not replying in kind, yeah it's more painful to get into a fight but you show you are not a cuck, otherwise doing nothing means you'll be the bullied kid of the class.

My local grocery chain has some store brand shit that's way better than maxell or folgers for a similar price ($7 or $8 for 12oz). If you're not so lucky idk...just drink the motor oil they brew at your workplace and pitch in a buck when they run out. Or go instant.
