Walmart can afford to contract entire coffee plantations... their
coffee is superb. Coffee sold at small mom n' pop specialty emporiums
at inflated prices is dregs/stale crap. Regardless what coffee people
use tap filtered water from their kitchen sink or bottled water, that
can't produce decent brew, not even from instant coffee. Unless one
is using RO (reverse osmosis) filtered water they are fooling
themselves.
