My go-to coffee for home use since I've given up blending and grinding my
own mix is Maxwell House Intense Bold. It's the primary reason I gave up
on my D-I-Y coffee blends. Not easy to find as not all stores that carry
the blue canisters of Maxwell House carry the Intense Bold variety. I've
also got a fall back if I can't get the preferred blend. Folger's Black
Silk.

If you can locate the Intense Bold Maxwell House it's worth a shot. And
priced the same as the rest of the varieties of Maxwell House. (Coupons
not included in figures)

This is good for confusing the taste buds .....
