LIDL supermarket coffee adventure - part1

100% arabica in Lidl supermarket
Ever wondered where to find good coffee? Went to a store nearby with a choice of 5,10, maybe 15 well-known brands. Bought some that looked pretty. Opened it at home, it smelled great at first, yet turned out so bitter you couldn't have it without lots of milk and sugar? Every next day it got only worse.

You go for another brand, get lucky once in a while, but still no consistency. The search gets frustrating and you decide to just stick to one brand and kind that is simply ok or not too bad.
So what options do we have? Swallow it or keep searching? I found out a specialty coffee world for myself and would strongly advise you explore it too. However, it might cost you time and money.

Any other options? You know, there actually might be some. What if times are changing and big supermarket chains feel the desires of consumers and meet them by offering us some better stuff than before?

The picture above is Colombia 100% Arabica in a wooden box. Looks pretty cool, ha? And that is no special shop, simply Lidl in Warsaw. I am about to find the coffees that stand out and catch your eye on the supermarket coffee scene and are available for any customer.
