Like everyone else I get inserts within my magazines for Gevalia coffee.
Is it any better than ordinary Foldgers or MJB from a supermarket?

It will probably be better then folgers(or maybe not i've never tried
it), but if your interested in better coffee, theres a whole world
beyond the stale commercial stuff. Goto a local coffeehouse/shop(not
starbucks, thats not what good coffee is supposed to taste like) But a
real coffeeshop and talk to them, get a half pound or so of whatever
they recomend based on your taste. Brew up a pot and you will be
amazed, it will be like night and day. Thats the first step, then with
your own grinder it gets even better... And theres unlimited different
types of coffees(no flavored ones please) and roasts to try.

Try it & see! Hey, its shit but you should experience everything (almost)
at least once.
What other experiences would I pass on until forced by circumstances beyond
my control? Probably not many; I've eaten bugs & snakes, been shot at &
returned fire, taken multiple GSWs & pieces of shrapnel, jumped from a
perfectly good airplane, been married to my first & second ball & chain,
and been bitten by a rabid possum. The events leading up to every one of
these events seemed logical at the time. They were all extremely foolish
acts in hindsight but seemed logical at the time.
Friedrich Nietzsche said, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger.",
so drinking bad coffee just might turn you into Superman!

I have tried, and enjoyed Gevalia, but it is far from my favorite.
My absolute favorite is home roasted (by me). After that I prefer the local
roasters. A favorite mail order roaster of our family is Baby's Coffee from
Key West, FL http://www.babyscoffee.com/

We join and quit once a year or so. We have yet to find a coffee from
them we like. My wife thought she liked the Peaberry, but decided not.
The thing about Gevalia is that they give you some very nice cups,
picnic sets, vacuum pumps, etc., every time you join. Then when you
quit after you receive the first shipment, they contact you a few
months later wanting you to rejoin and offering more free stuff. So,
if you are getting Gevalia for the coffee, you are likely to be
disappointed, but if you look at it as a way to get coffee paraphenalia
cheap, you might be happy.

The coffee is not bad - it's a far cry better than canned,
supermarket coffee, but I don't care for it. We join every few years
when we need a new drip coffeemaker. Those aren't bad, either. Many
years ago, they gave away small, 4-cup Krups drip machines, which
were pretty good for single coffee drinker households. Now they
usually do 12 cups, but I don't know what 'brand' they are. I tend
to make home roasted coffee in a French Press or an Aeropress,
depending on how many people I'm serving. If it's more than 3 or 4,
I use the Gevalia drip machine.
