~$20/lb is a common price for quality coffee locally roasted.Spiritualx wrote: ↑ Guess I'm used to buying cheap coffee lol I've never seen a 2kg bag for 112$
Not trying to discourage you; I just want you to know that if you aren't sure what you are looking for, this could be low value for you since even with the sale, it is more expensive than typical coffee beans that one might buy elsewhere. That being said, these are great beans so if you end up liking it for the price, glad you took a chance on them!
Coffee labels are like wine labels. Those words don't suggest they actually contain those things in it. It's just a fancy way of describing how sweet or sour it tastes.
Pilot is high tier. Kicking horse has great marketing, but not hugely better than the average grocery store stuff. Because of said marketing, it is able to command a higher price than it's worth. I would say neither kicking horse nor pilot are values at their sticker prices, and probably not at 20% off. There is also the thing about pilot that it is high quality coffee and it needs some amount of good machine/user pouring skill to get the most out of it. If you have a cheap coffee maker, the pilot will taste better, but you're probably not getting the most out of the coffee. Think of it like buying a Neon with a Hellcat engine that you use to drive to the grocery store, exclusively.LarryT778370 wrote: ↑ I am new to coffee at home. Anyone knows how Pilot compares to Kicking Horse? I saw some threads about Kicking Horse on RFD and seems like people like Kicking Horse as well. TIA
IMO Pilot is significantly better.LarryT778370 wrote: ↑ I am new to coffee at home. Anyone knows how Pilot compares to Kicking Horse? I saw some threads about Kicking Horse on RFD and seems like people like Kicking Horse as well. TIA
