Best budget-ish beans? (kbin.social)

I don't make coffee super often... because I'm an absolute heretic and drink Java Monster or Cafe Mocha Soylent and occasionally hate myself... but when I do I want a good cup, something not too bitter or burnt-tasting but with a good flavor.

So I'm looking for something that is... y'know, fancier than Folgers but not exactly Kopi Luak either.

My current go-to is Lavazza Intenso. I just got an aeropress (thanks to all the folks on here who recommended it) and I have a hand burr grinder ... somewhere...

So. What should I be trying, assuming I want tasty coffee that isn't priced like it's made of gold?

I've been using distilled since the water in this part of Texas leaves a thick build up in no time. Is it that much of a difference?

Yea, you should try getting spring water instead next time and doing a side by side comparison.
