We switched to Lavazza Qualita Rossa which you can get at Superstore. It is very good as well. It comes in whole bean and pre-ground; the pre-ground is very fine just to let you know. We have also bought Tchibo coffee - it is from Germany. The Exclusive one is quite mild.
These days we are drinking Van Houtte because I got some killer deal at Extra Foods when they were clearing it out, and I had coupons too! It is very mild. Try the VH Belgium Chocolate flavoured coffee...hmmm.
The one brand that I would never buy is Maxwell House, bought it many moons ago and the husband commented that it was like drinking "sticks and twigs". I would like to try the Italian brand illy, but it sure is pricey!
