What's the Best Tasting Ground Coffee? | Blind Taste Test Rankings

Episode #115: Two Bald Guys Eat Stuff and Talk About It
What's the best tasting coffee you can buy at the grocery store? The Two Bald Guys revisit one of their first blind taste tests, trying 12 different ground coffee brands and ranking them all. Have you tried their top choice?

[@rickmcwheeler9335]

Gosh. I love this channel! Always comes in handy prior to trying something new at the store. I appreciate you guys much!

[@ClifRizer]

Thanks for the review. I have to go back and look for your first one too. I have been talking about doing a coffee series on my breakfast @ the office reviews around Christmas time.

[@yoketogether]

Good vide! My advice would be that you take turns voting on things in a blind test because the person voting first can influence the other person's decision.

[@myCountyMarketvideo]

Thanks for the tip! We'll be sure to switch back and forth!

[@dameinoferrall2400]

I concur.

[@Cuppat1337]

4:27 thanks for the new soundboard clip for when someone asks me if I want to do something terrible

[@twizack22]

I like how you guys described the coffee. The citrus may be what I like in the Hill Bros and Gevalia.

[@coasterdaddy7123]

I am a coffee-holic lol I agree with Dunkin and McD being the best out of these, though I haven't tried every single one of these! I just love how cheap the McDonald's coffee is but it is so satisfying and consistent.

[@gimmefuel7268]

I just discovered you guys this morning while trying to find a great tasting coffee. I really enjoyed the video, and you made me laugh. Thank you for that! 😁😂👍🏻

[@mikegarzon6676]

I have tried many coffees in the US and I have tried many coffee traveling to Central, South America and Africa and all those coffee are really bitter and apparently it is because of the type of coffee they have and specially because of the process of getting the final dry coffee bean. The only coffee that was perfect in flavor, smell, bold, rich and not bitter was the Colombian Coffee and I learned why. Colombian coffee has a very precise process where they use clean water, they pick only the best red coffee beans , and most of the coffee plants are Arabica coffee plans. Really the best coffee.( I am not Colombian. Colombia really specialize in producing the best coffee)

[@sassygrammy1258]

My husband’s favorite is Dunking Donut. We entertain quite a lot and he always makes the coffee. Guests rave about how good his coffee is.

[@PrentissYeates]

Man, I haven’t drank Hills brothers since I lived at home and had a job as an night shift inventory clerk . Got look into it. Great review- you guys are hilarious.. but informative.

[@craigwillson5974]

I've had surprisingly good results brewing Aldi's store brand ground coffee at home... especially the Donut Shop flavor. I believe it's a medium roast made with Arabica Coffee Beans, and it's very reasonably priced. I encourage people to try it, because it's not bad coffee in my opinion. To be clear, I brew a full pot in my old Automatic Drip Style Machine, and I use 9 scoops to 12 cups of water.

[@jentleil2183]

I also brew my coffee in an old school automatic drip coffee maker. Try the Kirkland ground in the bag, really good - and no plastic container!

[@stevenbonovitch2497]

My favorite coffee is Chock full of Nuts. (it’s a heavenly coffee) I’m a little disappointed that it wasn’t in your taste test. If you ever get into mixing different coffees try mixing Folgers and Chick Full of Nuts about a 50/50 mix. Great blend, wonderful aroma, and a wonderful after taste like chocolate. Thanks for the video.

[@lawdawgm2844]

Which type of Folgers and chock full do u mix?

[@Speedfreely]

I agree with CFON too. Disappointed as I think its the best mass produced coffee…and its still sold in a metal can.

[@jennifera9071]

It's a good idea to buy McCafe from the store because when I worked there the coffee machine was either being repaired, or sat too long and went cold on the pot heater.

[@cccalifornia7206]

Love your fun attitudes!!!🤣🤣🤣💖👏

[@aaallami]

Thanks for the great video. I was looking to find if there is a better taste than mccafe and dunkin donuts. Now I feel that I should stick with them.

[@jle4974]

I liked it when we can actually see the containers, and roast levels in the video... ex. the k cup review.

[@user-qx1om2wj1h]

I like videos likes this where no one is stirring up drama. the best coffee I've ever tasted was Jacobs (a German brand) Germany has a lot of good quality teas and coffees.

[@almalockett7162]

Been searching for the taste of old time coffee shop/diner coffee I've always loved-will ck out McCafe now.

[@land7776]

Best capo I ever had in my life was in a small mall in Saudi-Arabia. And I've had coffee from Italy and all over Europe and SA. They used Lido for the milk/cream. Then again, they do call them Arabica beans..

[@chilidog73]

Your two picks (mcd and dunkin) have been my go to for years. And I drink decaf so it's hard to find a good decaf. My wife really likes the Gevalia colombian and their dark roast.

[@marhill77]

I’m not a huge coffee guy by any means, but the best cup of coffee I ever had was Gevalia ‘Royal Vinter’ blend. It was part of our Gevalia subscription we had years ago. I believe it came in the winter time and then it was gone. I never found that blend ever again. 😪

[@hawkheadnj10]

I am a big fan of the McDonalds coffee. I enjoyed this video, thank you.

[@ROXELL]

Thank you for this!

[@stinkynacho2362]

I probably don’t brew it right, but I hate Dunkin coffee at home. I love getting it from Dunkin, but I can’t seem to find any enjoyment in it brewed at home. It just doesn’t taste the same. I brew Folgers at home though and it’s literally AMAZING. I also appreciate that Folgers is much more affordable than Dunkin lol. Great video, guys! You two are both honestly very entertaining. As a fellow bald guy, I salute you! You’ve earned new sub!

[@candycottrell6469]

The Dunkin is probably brewed differently at their shops. They most likely use a Bunn type brewer, which is why making at home might not taste as good. I found the Folgers Black Silk tastes good and brewed with a Mr Coffee maker.

[@kylequatmann2125]

The best cheap coffee I ever had is Good Carma Coffee in Minneapolis Minnesota and I have lived in Washington state were Seattle is the coffee capital of the US. Well it was at the time in 2010.

[@antoniogriffin7135]

Hey that shirt is awesome (guy on the right)...now back to the video

[@gwyn7327]

damn i just thought i loved mccafe and dunkin coffee because of all the late study nights i survived by drinking them but seeing people saying they are actually great... im amazed dunkin is definitely my favorite like i can drink it anytime or any day

I'm still waiting for you guys to come back for more taste test.

[@sylverg8341]

[@petrvacek7057]

Very nice video - I'm looking for a strong rich coffee that would be VERY finely ground, just a powder - any ideas? Thank you!

Try Cameron breakfast blend and Kona there light roast but good in my opinion.

If you like rich coffee flavor, folgers or hill house top 2 if you like a little sweet or nutty dunkin donuts .

[@jimb8738]

Watching and listening to these two yoyos describing the Maxwell House coffee as having a "nutty" and a "pine" taste... and thinking wtf are they talking about?, because I'm sipping a cup of Maxwell House (fresh K-cup) right now and there's NO such flavors in this brand. Good video for the comic value!

[@StephEWaterstram]

Maxwell House is pretty comparable to Buckies for Caffeine! Folgers actually is tested at a 40 mg per cup without having to go full on Decaf. I'm stuck with witches brew for a while! 🤣

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I drank Folgers breakfast blend coffee for over 40 years. It is a mild roast but very good flavor. A lot of the flavor depends on how much you put in the pot each time. I tend to like strong coffee and I use a little more than normal. At my house is a coffee bar and most of my coffee is whole bean. Fresh ground wins out every time. I have several brands at the moment and I do mix brands when I grind it. Amazon brand dark roast is one that will bring back some hair for you guys. Starbuckets very weak. I won't buy it again. But sill, the Folgers ground breakfast blend brewed a little strong has some really good taste.

[@rudythecat7320]

Have you tried Cain's Coffee? If it's brewed properly it's really delicious.

[@greendollar1]

Aww you two seem like such nice country folk. I’m from New Jersey lol

[@cs5250]

From what I understand, McDonald’s acquired the bean source for Tim Horton’s which is why theirs has vastly improved and Tim’s lost.

[@KingKatura]

Alright so i watched this video forever ago and when i decided to look again for more coffee's i searched videos yet again and had to refind this video to watch it again because all other video's where a bunch of bs. Either had politics and other things except the taste and cost of the coffee, and the ratings most of the time where clearly skewed to company's in which might pay them to advertise and such. So congrats you have the only practical and best ground coffee major store brands in all of youtube, so thanks guys. Now make a new one updated on dark roast and columbian style coffee's which pretty close to the same thing and you can even add other darker stronger flavors for ground coffee in it. Personally anything that is light in color and doesn't have almost any taste is probably not coffee and most likely just a wet bag so i prefer to stick to darker fuller coffee's where i can.Even if i plan to creamer the spit out of it, it needs to taste like real coffee.. ;p you shouldn't drink it in a Styrofoam cup btw only glass shot glasses for the best taste is how you should do it.

[@brandyward623]

Love your intro hahaha

[@kimberlyhoward4032]

Maybe you should do a post on the less contaiminated coffee

The Starbucks ground coffee I.like is called pike place medium down the line medium

[@TheSRC88]

Pike Place Roast is great coffee. In my opinion the only Starbucks variant worth drinking

[@MrGabito88]

[@guitarjunkie6297]

I'd suggest JFG med dark. I enjoy it better than most coffees.

[@nicholausjamesjay83]

I roast my own coffee from Sweet Maria's, so it's not possible to replicate an insanely high quality bean.... (My favorite cultivars are Gesha and SL-28.) But if i drink industrial coffee, I honestly like McDonald's and Dunkin Donuts the best.

[@Davethreshold]

Great video, and very funny. In freshman year, I had my first experience with hot chocolate in a Styrofoam cup. I brought it to the table and downed 1/2 of it. I was surprised that I did not have BLISTERS! LOL After years of instant I just bought a Mr. Coffe maker. My friend recommended Dunkin, so it looks like that was good advice. Respectfully, why drink out of Styrofoam cups? Wouldn't a regular ceramic cup be better, because it won't add its own taste? I'll look at your other videos! :-)

[@myCountyMarketvideo]

Thanks for stopping by and great suggestion!

i live in canada and i really like mccafe. dunkin donut isn't available here. Mc cafe is on the expensive side at $20 for 900g of coffee. the cheapest coffee i like is actually Folgers Black silk selling for $9.99 for 750g at the closest walmart.

[@yosiyas2012]

Coffee is one of those things in life where some of the basic of cheap selection have the best tasting and balanced flavors.

Do you guys have a sip of water between taste tests? Little aeration with some slurps might help bring out the flavor if you use a spoon.. I know this video is over 3 years old at this point lol

With it not being as smooth and flavorful as it once was, and them raising the price so much, that I had no choice but to bail out on them.
