What's up with Tasters' Choice? We used to buy it all the time. It was the only coffee we drank. But when our income went down, we switched to regular ground coffee in a little Mr. Coffee machine. When the machine broke we bought a jar of Tasters' Choice (now made by Nestle), but we found it to be weak. On reading the label, we saw the suggested measurement and realized that we were not using enough crystals for the size of the mug. But we were using the same measurement and the same mugs as before!

We wonder if the bean-counters at Nestle wanted to keep the price down, and did it by making the crystals fluffier or somehow with less coffee in them. This is one of the reasons "They" say there is no inflation.
