There's like 15 different communities for coffee! Nice!

Like many of us, I survive largely on the break room coffee pot. Our grounds are running low again and the hospital doesn't stock it, so it's on the employees.

Our taste in coffee is driven mostly by cost, so we go through a lot of Costco-sized buckets of Folgers, but Folgers famously tastes like dirt. Still, it's cheap and it's coffee, so that's usually the winner.

I'm not a connoisseur by any means, but... any good options that taste less like dirt while still being cheap / available in large quantities?

As someone has said, pre ground is a losing battle and any coffee you buy from a shop where they don't show the roast date (super markets etc) will also restrict you on good taste

However, you might have some luck adding salt to your brew to improve the taste. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PUWQQ-joKE
