A&P Coffees
Before A&P closed their stores for years,for decades they sold their own branded coffee in bags in whole bean and you would grind it at the register.
They were:
Eight O'Clock the red bag
Red Circle the yellow bag
Bokar the black bag
they were prices with 8' oclock and the least expensive and Bokar the most,,,, each had a distinctly different taste.
8 O'clock,, the thinnest and least flavorful of all no matter how much grounds you used
Bokar was always edgy, winey and sharp,,,, strong but not a full rich flavor....
Red Circle was KING,, the best a fully rounded and deeply textured rich flavorful coffee....at a Very reasonable price.
and,,,,,,,,
that was the one they stopped making,,,,,
It is like trying to find a long lost love,,,,, and having no luck at all.......
okay,,,, any suggestions!??!

ps I think that the Eight O'clock " Columbian" coffee is excellent !
