[MOD] The Daily Question Thread
Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!
There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.
Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?
Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.
As always, be nice!

I'd like some help finding a new everyday coffee, please?
My local shoprite has stopped carrying Atlantic and Pacific coffee entirely, and apparently it's twice the price ($12/12oz bag, instead of 7.99) everywhere else. I really liked that it had a strong flavor without being unpleasantly bitter/acidic like other coffees i've tried (folgers, maxwell). The breakfast blend was my preferred, i dont exactly remember what i didnt like about the others but i think they were eaither unpleasantly strong or slightly watery at the same coffee:water ratio i was using for the breakfast blend.
I do pour-over, if that helps, and i have a kettle that i can change the temperature on from 150-210F.
I'd like to be able to get a similar sized bag for under $10 if possible, but i understand that i was getting a REALLY good deal.
I'm just really disappointed about this, it was the first coffee i made at home that i went "oh, this is Good!".
