Unpopular opinion: a $3 pouch from a gas station in Amarillo beat my $22 bag of beans
Stopped at a truck stop outside Amarillo at 2am on a road trip last spring, grabbed the cheapest pouch on the shelf just to stay awake, and it tasted better than the fancy stuff I'd been grinding at home for a year, so now I keep a backup pouch in my glove box and I want to know if I'm just fooling myself or if fresh cheap beats stale fancy.
