Switched from Starbucks to San Francisco Bay
Don't get me wrong, I still love my Starbucks coffee--but those Kcups of theirs are soo over priced, it's ridiculous. Sometimes you're paying more per KCup then you are going to the store. We would only buy our Starbucks Kcups at Costco whenever they where on sale--and even then, it would cost 70 cents per kcup....
My goal was to find a kcup that has the similar strength to Starbucks, but doesn't pack the same shrinking-wallet feature. I've purchased a few brands here on Amazon, some where a hit and others where a complete disaster. But, there was one brand that not only had amazing strong tasting coffee, but was also economically friendly (the k-cup pods are a huge space saver).
San Francisco Bay French Roast Coffee is by far the closet tasting coffee to Starbucks French Roast. I even did a blind taste test with a few "starbucks-loving" guest I had a my home. They didn't even notice.
The only "Con" i would say, is the fact that the cost for this coffee fluctuates daily. One time I bought 80-cups for $30, another for $25 and another for $22. So if you feel discouraged with the price, wait a bit and it will go down.
