Hot take: most expensive coffee beans are a complete waste of money

I was reading a coffee blog last night and found out blind taste tests show people can't tell the difference between $15 a pound beans and $50 ones 80% of the time. I've been dropping 30 bucks on bags thinking I was some kind of connoisseur. My buddy brought over some cheap store brand stuff last week and I honestly couldn't pick it out from my fancy roast. Who else has wasted cash on overpriced beans just because the label looked cool?

So are you gonna keep buying the cheap stuff or go back to the fancy bags?

Quality matters more to me. Better to have one nice bag than ten cheap ones that fall apart.

Oh man, my friend had the same debate and ended up spending way more replacing cheap stuff.
