As a coffee snob, you are not going to get anything "good" at a supermarket. You also better not be using tap water and a cheap blade grinder, and any beans over two weeks old should be burned with fire to make sure no one accidentally uses them. You should be on a first name basis with your roaster, but still checking up on the plantations he is getting his beans from.
As a coffee enthusiast, anything is good as long as it isn't too weak, burned, or artificially flavored.

sts speaks truth. I will also mix in Community and Dunkin Donuts (the wife likes it).
I have also been known to drink a couple of the HEB flavored blends on occasion. Is it a sin to flavor coffee? Of course, but sometimes wrong just tastes so right. There was one with cinnamon and pecan that I like.
