Yes, I do pay twice as much for coffee on a regular basis. However,
the Sumatra was at the grocery store and priced the same as all the
others. I needed coffee and didn't feel like making a special trip
even though I can buy Blue Bottle at a coffee shop just a couple of
blocks from my house, so I bought the Sumatra and it turned out to be
a pleasant surprise because it's excellent coffee. So much has
changed for the better now that Safeway is under new management. You
can't say that very often these days!
