Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's offers high-quality and affordable private-label products, including its selection of coffee, which are available in various roasts, origins, and flavors.
Almost all the varieties impress, but the Colombia Supremo — a slightly sweet medium roast with a lot of flavor — is one of the best on the shelf.
Signature Select
Signature Select lineup, found at Albertsons, Safeway, and Vons stores, has a variety of ground and whole bean coffees that span a range of roasts and regions.
The Signature Select Seattle Market Inspired ground coffee is one of the best they offer, which offers a smooth and sweet with a toasted-nut flavor.
O Organics
Whether you like coffee iced, black, or in a latte, the great taste of O Organics is evident in its reviews. Nearly all varieties have five stars on Safeway's website.
Their roasts and blends are non-GMO and USDA-certified organic. One of their top-rated coffees is Aztec Blend, a medium-bodied 100% Arabica coffee with notes of caramel and spice.
Private Selection
Kroger store's Private Selection has well-rounded and flavorful coffees of whole bean and ground varieties that are sustainably sourced and fair-trade certified.
Its standout coffees are Highlander Grogg, a medium roast with tastes of butterscotch, caramel, and vanilla, and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, a light roast with citrus and floral notes.
365
365 by Whole Foods offers affordable, tasty coffees. Its Pleasant Morning Buzz Vienna Roast is loved by black coffee drinkers for its heavy, bittersweet, dark-roasted flavor.
Meanwhile, Buzz Free Decaf is great for those who don't want the jolt of caffeine, and Hometown Blend, a chocolate-forward fair-trade coffee, is for those who like light coffee.
