It's even worse with this stuff. Just like everything else in the militaria marketspace, it's massively overpriced. I know gun stores that keep themselves afloat with black rifle coffee. The markup on a gun is like 20%, iirc their coffee is better than 500%. What's more, it doesn't even taste good.
I used to be a coffee snob but now I just use a keurig and the cheapest wal-mart pods marked "medium roast". Not as good as grinding beans and french press every day but a lot more convenient.
Good stuff I drink black but this swill needs a bit of sugar or creamer to smooth out the keurig burn. Just a little adulteration is enough to make it drinkable and that is good enough for me to absentmindedly sip at the desk all day.
You're going to be shocked, but I brew my own coffee too. I don't get the 'dedication' part. It takes 5 minutes to roast a batch. Really don't even have to look at it until I start hearing first crack.

The $5 isn't for the coffee, it's so you have some justification to loiter. The coffee that comes with it is just a side treat.
or trick
Heh I have a friend who does exactly like, and he tries to redpill everyone on the scam that is coffee. "Just take the pills!"
Even dandelion root can be used to make coffee.
Probably don't want to use dandelions growing in city soil though unless you want to drink pesticide.
Acorns too
I just roast my own, because green coffee beans last a lot longer than roasted ones; so I can buy a 6-month supply at one time.
Hard to beat the price per-pound, even when you factor in the cost of the roaster.
Still miss when Costco would roast their own in-store. Also way cheap, and if you got a bag fresh off the roaster it was amazing.
Fellow roaster. Still using that air popper I started with from sweetmarias. Had a Ethiopian Dumerson this am.
Using an air popper is some dedication. I would definitely not be roasting my own coffee if that was my only option.
