Some brands will just add in more of the cheaper, more plentiful (but less tasty) robusta beans.

Or maybe a touch more chicory. ;-)

My dad used to drink the Luzianne coffee with chicory.

Chicory's History

Chicory is one of the oldest recorded types of plants. Chicory is native to Northern Africa, Western Asia and Europe, and its cultivation is thought to have originated in Egypt in ancient times. Later, chicory was grown by Medieval monks in Europe (at which time commonly added to coffee by the Dutch). It was brought to North America in the 1700s and has been a popular coffee substitute or an ingredient in coffee in France since around 1800.
