Coffee

11. I second your suggestion of 8 o'clock

My family always had 8 o'clock in the red bag. The A&P store had a grinder and you'd grind the whole bag. The fragrance was the best.

We get the k-cups now. But I'm thinking of going with the bagged beans, grinding them a little at a time and using the reusable pod.

I can still remember how dad would brew a pot and I never needed an alarm clock because the coffee aroma got me out of bed immediately.

Btw, this brand in the red bag is arabica and pretty mild. But I don't think it's less acidic. To achieve that I read that a pinch of salt helps. Other work arounds are widely discussed on the web.
