I absolutely agree but will caution against going down the rabbit hole of amazing coffee.

I get locally roasted beans and grind them myself. I WFH so I can take a 15 minute break often to get a lovely cup of caffeine. The offset is getting coffee from anywhere else makes me sad at my cup. Tears don't help the flavor at all.

Ignorance is bliss.

I'm honestly not that bothered by coffee at the lower quality end. I'll still enjoy a cup of instant when the situation requires it.

I do get to take particular pleasure in good coffee though, and that I am very grateful for.

That's good. Back when I was on r/coffee it was a known issue.
