Isn't it terrific coffee? The fact that it's cheap is a bonus!

Mom always used Chock Full O Nuts or Maxwell House coffee. And those
were always the brands I bought regularly. About 3 years ago, I
realized Maxwell House was bland and tasteless. So I started buying 8
O Clock coffee or CFON. But then a new market opened up near us and
I've been shopping there regularly. They have CFON on sale every 4-6
weeks for about $2 /can, so I started buying their "Standard" roast
again, and I found I really enjoyed it. I picked up the NY Roast by
accident once and it knocked my sox off. Better than Dunkin Donuts,
very reasonably priced. So I started buying that and nothing but for
the past 2 years or so. It's just the right combination of bold and
intense but without the bitterness. It gives me the buzz I need, it
stands up to milk but I can also drink it black over ice.... it's
perfect for me.

I know there are plenty of coffee snobs who would turn their nose up
at it, but for me, CFON NY Roast is the king of coffees. And it was on
sale at my favorite grocery store this week for 99 cents/can! And I
had a coupon for $1 off 2 cans! I would pay $5 a can for it if I had
to, I love it that much. But it goes down to $2 or less regularly, and
I buy 4 or 5 at a time, so I never have to.

My best friend, also a coffee addict, is hooked on it too.
