    I encourage people to try getting locally roasted beans. The quality of the brew is far above what you can get at any supermarket brand.

    It does generally cost a bit more, but I don’t think it’s unmanageable. If optimizing caffeine intake for cost, the economical choice is probably to ditch coffee for caffeine pills.

    Sweden: Arvid Nordquist

    I was wrong about the following:

    Also: Löfbergs is owned by Nestlé or a subsidiary since ten years back or so.

      As a värmlänning. I did not know of the Löfbergs nestle connections. I am also unable to find it in any Swedish sources. Spare to share your Intel? :)

        I have to do what’s called a ”pudel” (a poodle) in Swedish. Löfbergs launched several coffee varieties (like Karisma) around 10 years ago and they ended up on a blacklisting due to Nestlé connections. So I haven’t bought any coffee from them for many years. But as it seems now, I was either misinformed or just naively against anything related to Nestlé. Sorry, fuck Nestlé, but I might just start enjoying Löfbergs again. Thank you for the comments.

          To “pudla” is too often seen as a bad thing, it’s good to admit when one is wrong, thanks for the info/retraction

    Aldi House Blend whole beans are surprisingly good.

    Lidl Italian Blend is also good for when I want a change.

    • Tea
      • 🇳🇱 PG Tips is popular here in the UK.
      • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ringtons (a personal favourite) is popular in and around Newcastle, where the company is based.
      • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Yorkshire Tea (also exceedingly popular in the north as well as the midlands) is owned by Betty’s & Taylors.
      • 🇬🇧 Tetley is a popular brand owned by 🇮🇳 Tata, though personally I can’t drink the stuff.
    • Coffee
      • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Black Sheep Coffee is a chain of coffee shops in the UK, but they also sell beans and grounds.
      • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pilgrims Coffee is a small roastery on Holy Island.
      • While their instant coffee is never great, supermarket own-brand beans and grounds are better than you would expect. 🇬🇧 Tesco and 🇬🇧 Waitrose both sell fairly nice coffee.
      • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pumphrey’s is another small coffee roaster, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Many independent cafés and shops in the north-east sell their coffee, but I believe you have to buy beans and grounds directly.
    • 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Red Box Coffee is based in Edinburgh and they sell tea and coffee, both of which are quite nice.

    American here.

    I understand the impulse, and I hate Trump as much as anybody.

    I just want to point out that BMW’s biggest plant is in the USA and America’s top beer is owned by a Belgian company.

    When it comes to the 0.01% oligarchy, there’s no ‘Europe’ or ‘America’ it’s all about the money.

      Yeah. Buying European is a cool concept, but when you’re improving “the economy”, that doesn’t actually mean you’re improving the lives of your neighbors. The way we measure “the economy” has been corrupted throughout modern history to really only look at how the ultra wealthy are doing and not the regular people. This helps prevent governments from doing anything that hurts corporations in any meaningful way.

      GDP is a great example of that kind of skewed metric.

    There goes the brand I use. I don’t really care the brand, all instant coffee is similarly bad, the deciding factor was the jar and what it worries me is that they could go for a cheaper jar that I can’t use afterwards.
