What are some brands of coffee that are comparable to Starbucks’ breakfast blend; but aren’t that expensive?
I want a coffee that tastes good but has low acidity and that tastes like Starbucks’ breakfast blend but is cheaper.
I’d like it to taste sort of like Starbucks’ coffee but not as burnt, and Seattle’s Best coffee tastes like cardboard to me.

Seattle’s Best has been owned by Starbucks for years, they’re both bad.
Try fresh roasted or whole beans sealed in bags with a valve. Get a nice burr grinder and grind fresh, brew in a French press (under $50). It will cost between $.50-.75 per cup & will taste better than anything SB has. all you need is boiling water.
Just make sure you have an airtight container for the beans & never put them in the fridge or freezer.
Once you’ve had real, fresh coffee, you’ll never want SB again.
Seattle’s Best
Tully’s
We drink Eight O’Clock coffee. We especially like the 100% Colombian that comes in the dark brown bag. The French Roast is good too! Their 100% Colombian decaf doesn’t even taste like decaf either!
My personal favorite is the new 7-Eleven Brazilian Bold coffee. It’s really good, I actually think that it’s better than Starbucks, and it’s definitely not as expensive. Here’s an article all about it.. check it out.
I used to love Dunkin Donuts coffee until I discovered Starbucks. Then a friend introduced me to Hawaiian coffee and I’ve been hooked ever since. The rich, robust flavor and aroma is like nothing else. I also learned a lot of local stores only sell blends which are 10 percent Kona coffee and the rest is regular stuff. I order online at https://konaluna.com to get the real stuff delivered right to my door. I don’t even have to leave the house to get the best coffee. Their website tells the story of Kona coffee and how it is specially grown, harvested and roasted for superior flavor.
