Honestly pretty good. Nice taste, B-Corp Certified, ~~vehemently independent~~, and it keeps me awake without feeling panicky.

Feel free to drink whatever you like, but easy of use does not beat quality of result for me when it comes to coffee. I am a lazy person and would be willing to try it, but the chance of me buying it is very close to 0%.

Since there is likely gonna be someone else here with the same opinion, let me introduce you to Moyee Coffee, a Dutch-Ethopean company that sells 'fairchain'-coffee: instead of paying farmers pennies for a raw product, they pay living wage and roast at origin and also do stuff to protect nature there. Their basic coffee is available at supermarkets (at least here in The Netherlands) but they sell more online. I guess they ship to everywhere in Europe at least, but couldn't find any details on international shipment weirdly enough.

I usually buy grounds from elsewhere, or just drink energy drinks; but I'm currently at my grandparents' place, and all of their stuff is decaf.

I also remember someone here (or on the other sub) wanting to know about non-American coffee brands, so I thought I'd post it.

"feel free to drink whatever you like" doesn't sound as genuine as i intented it maybe, but honestly idc what you drink or for what reason. You definitely got an upvote from me for posting it too.

They sell these one-cup 'sticks' over here with instant coffee, they're not that bad and i take them abroad as like emergency coffee. I'd get any real coffee before using those, but sometimes the best you can get is even worse lol

Ah, I see. It can be difficult to convey sentiment in text.
