Side note: “Keurig Dr Pepper” sounds disgusting. Who greenlit that name and why are they still employed there?
Lol 😂😂
Moland?
Sweden: Arvid Nordquist
I was wrong about the following:
Also: Löfbergs is owned by Nestlé or a subsidiary since ten years back or so.As a värmlänning. I did not know of the Löfbergs nestle connections. I am also unable to find it in any Swedish sources. Spare to share your Intel? :)
I have to do what’s called a ”pudel” (a poodle) in Swedish. Löfbergs launched several coffee varieties (like Karisma) around 10 years ago and they ended up on a blacklisting due to Nestlé connections. So I haven’t bought any coffee from them for many years. But as it seems now, I was either misinformed or just naively against anything related to Nestlé. Sorry, fuck Nestlé, but I might just start enjoying Löfbergs again. Thank you for the comments.
Zoegas is also owned by Nestlé. Arvid Nordqvist only coffee option in Sweden.
Also tastes better in my opinion.
As Finn, I may have said that I prefer Nordqvist to Paulig stuff. I'm not admitting anything though. I'm just saying there is a possibility that I may have perhaps let words to that effect come out of my Nordqvist filled mouth.
Hakkapeliitta intensifies
You are most welcome!
As I stated in the other comments, I have to retract my statement about Löfbergs. Sorry.
I can't find anything about Löfbergs being owned by Nestlé online, do you have a source?

To "pudla" is too often seen as a bad thing, it's good to admit when one is wrong, thanks for the info/retraction
I didn't know this. Thanks.

I encourage people to try getting locally roasted beans. The quality of the brew is far above what you can get at any supermarket brand.
It does generally cost a bit more, but I don't think it's unmanageable. If optimizing caffeine intake for cost, the economical choice is probably to ditch coffee for caffeine pills.
American here.
I understand the impulse, and I hate Trump as much as anybody.
I just want to point out that BMW's biggest plant is in the USA and America's top beer is owned by a Belgian company.
When it comes to the 0.01% oligarchy, there's no 'Europe' or 'America' it's all about the money.
Yeah. Buying European is a cool concept, but when you're improving "the economy", that doesn't actually mean you're improving the lives of your neighbors. The way we measure "the economy" has been corrupted throughout modern history to really only look at how the ultra wealthy are doing and not the regular people. This helps prevent governments from doing anything that hurts corporations in any meaningful way.
GDP is a great example of that kind of skewed metric.
Don't get me started on 'skewed metrics.'
According to the official inflation counter, $1,500.00 in 1960 is about $15,000.00 in 2026.
You could buy a good, brand new car in 1960 for $1,500.00.
A cheap new car in 2026 is $20,000.00
All below numbers are for the USA.
In 1960, an average house cost $11,900 ($132,721 adjusted for inflation).
In 2026, an average house costs $429k.
In 1960, the federal minimum wage was $1/hr ($11.15 adjusted for inflation).
In 2026, the federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr
We could go on for hours...

It's 2026 and I'm still trying to figure out what happened...
Use this as a catalyst to buy local beans. You will not regret the change.
I used to work at a museum in Cornwall and the café stocked Cornish Tea
https://www.cornish-tea.co.uk/
Their coffee is pretty good as well.
M&S Kenyan is my goto. But maybe it's time to look into local roasters.
Why use the Polish flag for Tesco?
Mandela effect. I could have sworn it was a Polish company. Corrected now!
Evergood and Ali coffee are still norwegian brands, I think, and hope.
> TeekanneGoddammit.I'm stupid.
The list is of european alternatives btw
Omg im fucking stupid lol
Thank you for telling me.
There goes the brand I use. I don't really care the brand, all instant coffee is similarly bad, the deciding factor was the jar and what it worries me is that they could go for a cheaper jar that I can't use afterwards.
Barry's and Lyons are Irish and delicious. Lyons is blended in te UK but Barrys is all Irish.
Grind coffee is also British and an independent company
🇸🇪 Arvid Nordquist is my favorite.
No Bustelo or Bones? Word, I'm good.
I don't need "branded" coffee and tea. Just some non-usa coffee and tea.
Aldi House Blend whole beans are surprisingly good.
Lidl Italian Blend is also good for when I want a change.
Rocket Bean - Manufactured and HQ'd in Latvia 🇱🇻 since 2007, iirc.
I don't drink coffee, but once I heard a guy bellowing in a supermarket by the coffee machine "YES! THEY HAVE ROCKET BEAN!" So gonna guess it is the good stuff.
Esssecaffé, it's the company the Segafredo family started after selling the original company. I've never bought their coffee for home use, but whenever I have one in a bar (café), it's great.
I mostly drink decaf and the only that tastes good is Lucaffe. I heavily recommend their products:
