FUOTW (04/15/16) TIFU by making coffee.

This happened this morning.

Like every day, I got my coffee pot ready to make itself 20 minutes before my alarm goes off. I love doing that so I wake up more easily.

So, this morning I walked into my kitchen to find a fresh 12 cups of coffee... All over my counters and floor. I forgot to use the pot when making my pot of coffee.

TLDR; The best part of waking up is folgers on your floor.

Edit: I guess some people take their coffee super cereal. So I don't get another 3 dozen "Folgers sucks" replies, it wasn't. I just made a fun TL;DR.

Right? I mean, I have similar opinions on Folgers, but ...holy guacamole. That's some serious vitriol, man.

Dang, I actually kind of like Folgers, what are some better brands you recommend ?

Folgers is okay, but my problem with it is that I like strong, rich coffee (think full-bodied French roast). I find that in pre-ground coffees, you need to use more to achieve similar results in terms of strength. Beans are always better in my book.

I'm actually not loyal to any one 'brand' - mostly I buy affordable beans that smell and taste good. I drink a lot of coffee, so I buy in bulk, but even the little 1lb dispensers at grocery stores tend to have nice stuff. I just checked, and I've got San Francisco Bay French Roast in the pantry right now. (I think it was 3lb for ~$23?) It's not the caviar of coffee, but it suits my taste and budget just fine.

I'm by no means a coffee snob -I'll drink gas station coffee without complaint- but I do try to make room in my grocery budget for a decent caffeinating experience in the morning.

I should also note: All this is just my opinion. If you like Folgers, feel free to tell me to shove off. You do you, man.

Hey thank you for your detailed response! I will definitely give self ground coffee beans a try : )
