Goodie: Presidents Choice Whole Coffee Beans

I have a few coffees that I purchase regularly; Santropols' Femenino as well as their Krakatoa blends, which I drink most often in the afternoon, or for dessert. There is the Starbucks' Komodo Dragon, which I use some afternoons and some mornings. And finally the Brulerie St.Denis' Perou Noir is usually my morning cuppa whenever I happen to buy beans from the grocery store. 

For the most part, I do not buy my coffee beans at the grocery store even though most do carry a pretty good selection of whole beans. I prefer to buy the beans at the Co-op La Maison Verte, or at a Starbucks store with my coffee card and get a free coffee in the deal. If I do buy at the grocery store, I buy the Brulerie St.Denis' blends.

The other day, while I was shopping at Provigo I noticed the 2-lb bag Presidents Choice Whole Coffee Beans - Colombian Supremo Blend, was roughly half the cost per pound of the Brulerie St.Denis blends! Intrigued, I decided to do a head-to-head. My prefered Brulerie St Denis beans against the PC Colombian Supremo. If the PC beans are anywhere near as tasty as the Perou blend, I would be saving myself about 7$ per month!

It turns out that both coffees were quite equally matched and in fact, I may even prefer the PC blend! This coffee will not replace my Santropol or Starbucks choices, they are much too delicious for me to ever give up!

2-lbs of PC Colombian Supreme - 14$ (3.50$ for 225g)! That is an awesome savings when you compare it with the St.Denis blends that sell for 7$ for 225g.

    I just picked up a bag of their Gourmet (medium blend) whole beans and I was very surprised. It tasted great to me, better than a lot of brand I have gotten.

    I am a Kicking Horse coffee fan but the PC is comparable to their medium roasts and is like 4x cheaper.

    To be fair though today was the first time I tried it and it was about an hour after a cup of instant...so my tastebuds probably would have accepted anything.
