Stop daydreaming. Concentrate on what you’re doing. It’ll save your life eventually.
Coffee is needed to concentrate. Concentration is needed to acquire coffee. This sounds like a scam.

If there’s a Winco near you, they have good-might-be-stretch-but-significantly-better-than-Folgers coffee in their bulk section that you can grind in store. It’s fairly cheap - no idea if it’s a better or worse deal than Folgers. Decent variety of strengths and flavors.
If you don’t have a Winco nearby, you might have something similar- on a scale of [normal grocery store] to [Costco], Winco is kind of right in the middle; I’m guessing it’s not the only chain that’s like that, and that similar stores will have a similar inventory.
Winco is far and away the best grocery store ive shopped at.
Wish there was one near where i live, so damn cheap compared to the competition.

Get yourself a tally counter (click counter, hand counter, whatever). As an added bonus, it’s also a great fidget toy!

To be fair, you gotta be brain damaged to be brewing Folger’s 🤮
The office buys it, so I drink it.
Pro tip: A tablespoon to measure is stupid. Use a 1\4 cup measuring cup. 1\4 cup = 4 tablespoons, so 2 1\2 scoops is your 10 cup carafe, and one rounded scoop is a half pot (5).

I was in military for over 23 years and coffee is coffee to me. Yes, some are tastier than others but at end of day I am just looking for the caffeine. Taste is an after thought when you get woken up at 2am for operations. I also drink it black.

Get a 1/3 cup measuring cup from your local dollar store. Two scoops will land you at almost exactly 10 tbsp.
No one should be expected to count all the way to 10 during that shitty period between waking and caffeine!! 2 is much more manageable.
I use a 1\4 cup just because my brain likes knowing it’s exactly 4 tablespoons.

Meh, it’s cheap and it’s good enough. I like coffee but not enough to spend money on “the good stuff” for daily consumption. And there’s no way in hell I’m grinding beans at 6am.

You act like you have to go outside and break boulder-sized beans apart with a pickaxe, lol. It’s the exact same number of scoops, you just put whole beans in your grinder first, then your coffee maker. Literally takes about 5 seconds longer.
To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with liking cheaper coffee, and I don’t think the majority of us need or could tell the difference from using the absolute best beans and equipment to enjoy it… BUT, grinding your beans fresh gives a huge improvement to aroma and taste, such that I’m still amazed at the coffee I’m sipping out of my thermos late in the day. And it goes without saying that it improves every morning for me, personally. Most people discover a giant improvement, even using the exact same brand and type of coffee, only whole-bean. Very little experimentation is required to make amazing coffee that tastes perfect to you. Good luck if you try it…

Folger’s tastes like jail coffee, which tracks with the “coffee is coffee” philosophy

I buy my own because my job offers nothing, so I get Dunkin original blend and caramel/french vanilla creamer!

I’m bougie as hell with my coffee at home. Fancy whole beans, burr grinder, aerobie coffee press, and temp adjustable kettle.

Step 1) If you are never sure… add just one more
Step 2) And then if you forget that… add just one more
Step 3) Repeat Step 2.I spent a lot of time on places where the coffee is normally brewed a bit stronger (Italy, Turkey, North Africa etc).
I tend just fill up the filter paper to around to 2/3rds.
I have also been banned from making coffee at a few offices I have worked since. Their shrill cries of “Who made the coffee???” were quite fun however.

Well you making coffee from somewhere.

Yeah, we used to live right next to one and it was fantastic. Then we moved and now it’s about 20 min away, so I now go to Costco and the grocery store since there both a mile or two away.

You should check out the finger method. You’ll never have to worry about having the correct ratios again.
That’s how I learned and it’s fantastic when my kids “help”. I never know whether we did 4 or 6 cups (we aim for 5) because they keep doing little half scoops. So I guess and use the finger method after rinsing the rice. Perfect rice every time.
