I just made my first cup of this and it’s the first cup I’ve enjoyed in a while. I’m finding the taste to be enjoyable & full of flavor. I definitely wasn’t expecting this because the aroma when I opened the can put me off. Will definitely buy again.
Hey, Jewel, thanks for commenting. We’re glad you enjoyed it, even though it wasn’t to our liking! Perhaps you can find other coffees you enjoy by drinking the ones we don’t like. 🙂
The worst coffee I ever had very very disappointed and not happy. Coffee for me is important. Thumbs down all the way.
Absolutely agree. We still remember the taste. ):
Did buy the daily basics coffee for the office. I’m a pariah. In fact, found this site to redeem myself. It’s going to be difficult.
They want Keurig. I don’t want to spend $20 a day on coffee. “We” settled on the worst coffee ever made.
Hahahaha. Sorry you had to find out the hard way about this coffee! One option for the Keurig would be to use a reusable filter like this on Amazon: Keurig Reusable Coffee Filter. That way, people can brew individual cups (no more burnt coffee!) and you can buy a slightly better bagged coffee, which is cheaper than the K-Cups. We’ve actually found that the coffee from Dollar Tree ($2.60 per pound!) is surprisingly good. Also, from Aldi’s, we liked the Barrissimo Guatemala blend ($5.32 a pound). Also, Joe Coffee’s Tall Dark and Handsome was really good, and it was about $6.65 per pound. Thanks for watching! We hope this site helps you!
I am not picky I enjoy ALDI s Beaumont ? coffee n tried the daily basics to save 50 cents. Daily Basics is just Terrible the worst coffee ever. Tastes like mildew and 0 flavor worst ever hands down.
Oh absolutely the worst!!! We haven’t had the Beaumont yet, but have reviewed several of the Barissimo Coffees and are going to be reviewing some of the Specially Selected German Roasted coffee they have. Here are the reviews of the Barissimo line that we have done so far. https://coffeecoffeecoffeeshow.com/barissimo-breakfast-blend-coffee-review/ That link will get you to the other ones too…
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I bought a can of Daily Basics coffee at Aldi’s and opened the can and it is half empty. Will not be buying it again.
Oh man! But hey, we really disliked that coffee, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise!
This is the second time I have bought the can. As long as it keeps me awake while I am working then the coffee is doing its job.
I have never had any problems when buying Aldis’ coffee, between Daily Basics and Beaumont, the ladder is better is forms of consistency of texture and flavor. However, since I am a tightwad when it comes to food (I make my own bread from scratch to save $$$ even if I do not have the time from the cheapest whole grain flour I can find) and the grocery budget in general, the last run forced me down $2 between Beaumont and this due to a bloc of Sharp Cheddar cheese.
Needless to say, I am no snob when it comes to coffee. It is not the best tasting thing, nor is it the worst. (Some coffee I have had smells like sewage water.)
We totally hear you on trying to keep the grocery budget in check! That’s one of the reasons we started the youtube channel and this website: to try to find the best coffee for the best price. Thank you for sharing your experiences with this coffee! We’re glad you enjoy it.
Something happened and when I opened up the can it smelled really rancid. I pitched it into the compost pile. I was able to clean out the can and replace it with coffee grounds a friend gave me when she did a run out to a discount grocery store. So, yeah, this can was pretty much wasted.
Were the replacement grounds good? What brand were they?
Blonde Roast from Starbucks. Tasted good even several months past the sell out date.
Nice!
Hi Kayla and j.r. what do you do with the coffee that you don’t drink? Just wondering?
When we have several almost full bags, we give them away, most of the time to J.R.’s mom, who then distributes them around to friends, church, etc. Now that we’re full time RVing, we don’t know what we’ll do, now that we’re further away from family. Perhaps try to give it away to other people at the campground? We don’t think a soup kitchen or food pantry would accept it, since it will be opened.
