Coffee recommendations for sleep deprived dads

I've been running on fumes since my youngest started waking up at 5am. Need something better than the Folgers sludge I've been drinking. Dark roast or light roast? Whole bean or ground? Just want something that actually tastes good and doesn't make me crash at 2pm. What do you guys drink?

Been there with the early mornings. Skip the Folgers and get something with actual flavor. Makes those pre-sunrise hours with my kid feel a little less brutal when you're actually enjoying what you're drinking.

Dark roast all the way. I switched to a local roaster here in Minneapolis a couple years back and it's a game changer when you're running on those early mornings. Your taste buds will thank you too.

5am wake ups are rough, man. I'd say grab a good medium roast if you can find it - gives you the caffeine kick without the jitters that'll make the day feel even longer. Austin's got some great local spots if you're nearby.
