I've been all over these forums & can't find the 'right forum', so mybe i'll find an answer on the front porch ?
I have 2 cans of 'cheapie' coffee ; tried mixing them so they would be more flavorful, but not-so-much did it work. Might buy a more spendy brand & mix them, but in meantime, anyone have any ideas on how to make these cheap brands taste better ?
Thanks !
@Epster, You know, I was going to suggest simply discarding the cheap coffee and buying some good quality, but I hadn't thought of any of your ideas above. Great advice, especially the spices. 🙂

@ss11943859 - Sometimes it's really not cheaper to buy a cheap brand, if you need more of the product, for it to be as flavorful, as a slightly higher quality brand.
I have purchased cheap coffee a time or two and i did not enjoy it as it seemed watered down, was tasteless and a bit chalky. When I buy coffee, I find that if I read the information listed on the coffee package I get the description of the coffee type, the flavors, the boldness of the coffee, and where it is made. This helps me to determine what coffee to buy at that time , and when I brew my coffee at home I truly enjoy it A LOT! My friend told me to buy coffee beans that I can grind at home and to put the package of the coffee beans in the freezer until I am ready to use them. I follow this suggestion but not sure if it really works better than to just putting the coffee bean package in the pantry. Anyhow, i truly enjoy and love coffee!!
@Glo894323, I agree with that; I've tried grinding and freezing my coffee beans as well and didn't notice any discernable difference.
