For a while id grab whatever didnt taste bitter, but lately ive been sticking to my local grocery store brand of whole beans for coffee and redbird for espresso when i feel like dealing with the machine. Ill try new stuff when i notice it, but usually end up back to my go-to brands.

eeewwww that almost sounds like their machine wasnt cleaned properly 🤮

When i first got my budget espresso machine i bounced around different espresso brands until i found LavAzza. Absolutely loved it the first time i tried it, bought it for a few years, and only stopped getting it because my retailer source was Amazon and i wanted to stop buying stuff from there. I switched to Redbird, which is also amazing (better imo, but thats just me), but still ocassionally get LavAzza if i spot it in store while im out running errands.

My experience isnt representative of the situation as a whole, but ive noticed a pull back in our usual shopping locations (mid-west US). Our local Meijer (grocery) closed half of the self checkouts and added two more people to their standard checkout lanes plus a few more to assist the remaining self checkout. Costco near us got rid of their self checkout entirely. Aldi on the other hand installed more self checkouts, but its in a gated area where you have to scan your receipt to get out.

If your in or near Ohio, i know of a local “antique” store (more like a flea market) with a booth selling several boxes full of old playboys.
