The one I’m drinking right now is 6.76€ and the cheapest one is 1.28€.
First of all - what a price difference. Secondly, it’s actually not bad. It does have that faint “cheap coffee” taste, but after a few cups I barely notice it anymore.
The real question is: is the tradeoff worth it? Do I give up a few percent of enjoyment on every single cup just to save the equivalent of a month’s grocery bill yearly? I’m not in any dire financial spot - frugality is basically a hobby/lifestyle for me at this point - but it’s getting rarer and rarer to find ways to pocket savings of this level anymore.
Why not both? Sure you won’t save as much, but sometimes it’s nice to have good coffee as a treat.
Or try mixing in ~10% of the good stuff with the cheap to see if it helps mask the cheap taste
