I'm no expert on shit coffee. But even Folgers is $6.3 lb. And is Folgers even 100% real coffee?
It tastes like it was extracted once before and freeze dried and something added to it.
Plus Costco might be subsidizing their coffee the way they do their rotisserie chicken.
- mrguyorama 2y agohttps://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=coffee https://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=coffee Everything I see for US costco is roughly 5$/lb Good coffee is 20$/lb. That was largely true before covid and "inflation". Most actual premium stuff has not increased in price much, as compared to the """premium""" lines of household brands which HAVE increased in price Hank Green runs https://good.store/collections/all-coffee https://good.store/collections/all-coffee which is specialty/premium sourced coffee, with ethical business management where the coffee growers get to own and be involved with more of the process. They sell 5 pounds of beans for $60
- reducesuffering 2y agoIt's not bad coffee like Folgers. Sure, r/coffee connoisseurs that only buy $20 beans, $500 grinders, and $500 espresso machines won't drink the Costco stuff, but for the average coffee enjoyer they're decent quality. I doubt they're subsidized since you'll also find $5 pounds at Trader Joe's.
