My mom right now: "I keep an empty expensive ground coffee package so that when someone visits us, I pour cheap coffee in it and pretend I'm making expensive coffee to the guest". Is that pure ingenuity?

Eh I don't really like the idea, on one level if my guests are gonna think less because my coffee isn't expensive/fancy enough, I don't want them back anyway...on another level - I'm thinking there could be a reason somebody is avoiding a particular brand, whether it's political, or medical, an ingredient, whatever, so switching out containers feels sketchy to me, no disrespect intended to your mom, of course
