I am not really a coffee drinker, but I tried some courtesy Roar
Columbian single serving coffee. It's great.

We have an Ingles food chain. My first attempt in trying another
Columbian was the first brand on the shelf that was Columbian. It was
Dunkin Donuts Colombian coffee. It's not as good.

Anyone want to recommend another brand to try?

I think "single serve" means K-cup or similar - if that's the case, I
protest. Those things are the biggest waste.

Not so far. I guess that will be my next try.

I am not sure what K-cup is. Roar is a "make by the cup" coffee and
tea dispenser.

Safeway brand Sumatra, $7 lb. Decent coffee that won't put you in the
poor house (store it in the freezer if you don't drink much coffee).
You're in the South East, so you probably don't have a Safeway. Look
for Indonesian or African sourced coffee. A blend is fine, sometimes
it's desirable.

Whatever bean is the least expensive at Costco. Generally French
Roast or Columbian. Coffee is a part of a morning ritual for me.
Without it, things just don't seem right. After my morning cup I
don't have or make any more until the next day.

For most people's needs, I'd agree with you. But as a single person who
has a cup in the morning and maybe one more in the afternoon, I find my
Keurig to be a good solution. Even at $.50+ a cup, it beats making a
larger pot that might not be used, and the convenience makes it a better
solution (for me) than a French press or some such. I also don't wind up
buying coffee in packages that's going to go stale in the refrigerator.

I use a Black & Decker Brew 'n Go. It brews up to a
16 ounce insulated mug of coffee and I grind my own beans.
Cheaper buying by the pound and grinding the beans as
needed and of course that ensures fresh coffee.

I do not store my beans in the 'fridge but do use COLD
water to brew. Grinder is a burr grinder.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I wasn't looking for a single
serve method. I was just explaining how I got a chance to try the
Roar brand coffee. It is only sold in single cup sizes. I was
looking for maybe 12oz size serving that had the same Columbian
flavor.

Thanks

I may try Costco or Heirloom.

Hey Seymour4Head:
If you want more of that sensational Coffee at home, in single serving
size, get a Keurig Coffee Brewer plus the extra single cup brewing
basket that replaces the through away pods. Get a bag of Eight O'Clock
Columbian Whole Bean Coffee and also a Coffee Grinder. Now you can
grind enough coffee for a single serving. Also, freshly ground coffee
tastes much better.

Eight O'Clock is the brand I use, whole bean, and it absolutely
tastes a LOT better than the pre-ground variety.

I looked on their website, and Roar single-serve appears to be
in a mesh packet. At first glance it looked like the coffee packets
you get in a motel room coffee set up: open the plastic, take out
the mesh packet, and stick in the filter basket of the drip maker.

The Keurig system sure does save a heap of time. I used to spend some time in the ritual of making coffee when I was younger but these days, time is more important. Most importantly, it makes a great tasting cup. If it didn't, the system wouldn't mean shit to me.

I've been using the San Francisco Bay OneCup module/pod thingies. It does away with the plastic shell of a K-cup and the coffee tastes fine. OTOH, the plastic shell of the K-cup is what prolongs the shelf life of the coffee so the OneCup pods are packaged 10 to an air sealed bag that have a limited life once you open it. You can get the product from Costco but I went through Amazon.
