Coffee??

[mike_belben]

J.J. keller makes logbooks.  I plead the fif on what looseleafs are for.  Definitely consumed lethal amounts of caffeine at times to bring home a sorry check. 

[sawguy21]

I used to drink a lethal amount of coffee but had to back off, now it is two cups in the morning and occasionally one in the afternoon. Definitely won't drink it cold. Mike, do you have to run an ELD yet?

[mike_belben]

ELD law passed in 2016 and anyone driving commercial has to have one in model yr 2000 or newer equipment.  I had 2 employers and both ran outlaw.  Never did ELD and never will.

I have gotten a pleasant but unexpected coffee surprise! 

Since I am the only coffee drinker here, I generally bought the 11.5 oz can of coffee so that it would be fresher but even then, by the time I reached the bottom of the can the smell was mostly gone.  Grinding my own beans probably would have somewhat cured that but that wasn't gonna happen.


 
I am using the exact same brand/grind so the sealed K-Cups are doing their job quite nicely.

that is what my wife drinks too.  I drink a French roast and push the strong button.  If I run out, I will drink my wife's but I always push the strong button.  if the flavor is not enough, try the "Strong button".  enjoy.  good to the last drop!

10 cans on reserve here, should be good until next fall. ;D

I bought a can of Folgers on sale, it is ok but won't go back for more. My favorite is Melitta but it tends to be pricey.

[doc henderson]

hey swamp, I just thought it was well cooked meat!   :D :D :D

[SwampDonkey]

 :D :D The shelving. Yup, well done. :D :D

There is a very discernible difference between Maxwell House and Folgers.

Back in 2002 when I was a manufacturing consultant, I had the privilege to work on a few projects at the Jacksonville, Florida Maxwell House coffee plant (General Foods plant owned by Kraft Foods). 

I was very impressed with their operations and quality control. And it made the Jacksonville area smell so good...

I loved to watch their coffee testers, slurp and spit.  :D

I SOOO missed it this morning. I had to go in for a certain procedure. Nothing to eat or drink except what tiny bit of water needed for swallowing meds. See the forestry and logging, what's on your to-do-list, it'll make sense.

[doc henderson]

having mine now.  I am out of the dark roast and drinking my wife's Maxwell house.  We have beans in bags, but could not find the refillable K cup, and my wife is not up for bean grinding yet this am.  When we went to Philmont, we took Starbucks via instant coffee packs to make with hot water.

[Magicman]

I had $3.00 off coupons for a box of Dunkin' and a box of Green Mountain.  I'll try the Green Mountain in the morning.

[Texas Ranger]

McDonald cups are pretty good in my Keurig, but, Newmans Own and Community Club are my go to.

[ron barnes]

I love Community coffee but not with chicory.  The dark roast is great.  Drinking it now.

[doc henderson]

one of our nurse's husbands bought a big bunch of chicory years back.  so much that she brought baggies of the stuff to give away in the ED.  I would mix it with regular coffee.  it added some flavor and in a sense, made drinkable lower caffeine brew.  we now do the K cups.  we used to only drink 1/3 to 1/2 of the pot anyway.  and now my wife and I can pick what we want.

[Walnut Beast]

 

 I drink lots of coffee. All day everyday. This is the smoothest, best tasting coffee I've come across. I mix it 50/50. Coffee now ☕️ 

[Magicman]

 


I am genuinely sorry for what I did.  PatD said that just because I had a coupon didn't mean that I had to use it.  Well in that light, just because I bought it doesn't mean that I have to drink it.

I have never tried drinking "dish water" but I poured that cup of Green Mountain down the sink.    I am drinking a cup of the Dunkin' now but the rest of the box will be kept in reserve just in case I ever run out of Maxwell House or Community.

I normally drink one cup a day and at least it can be something that I enjoy.  No more experimenting.  :

[RichTired]

MM, sorry you had a bad coffee experience with Green Mountain. :( 
I really like it.  :laugh: I usually rotate between Green Mountain, Community, and Maxwell House. It depends on what's on sale or a BOGO.  I don't care for Dunkin or McD's and usually go with the medium roast or breakfast blends.

Once at one of my client's sites, someone thought it would be funny to put salt in the sugar container. :(
So I have dumped a few cups down the drain over the years as well...

[SwampDonkey]

:D :D :D

No more experimenting.  :

I bet you'll be trying something new by June. :D

[Magicman]

Actually I just finished a cup of Green Mountain and it was OK, just different.  I'll use it for my afternoon swig and reserve the Maxwell House for my mornings.

[SwampDonkey]

I've stuck with the same coffee for a few years now, as shown above. Good and flavorful. Some coffee just does not have any taste to me, and Maxwell House is one. Haven't used it in years. Maxwell house has even said in the past that it was a bit doctored with Robusta beans (cheap stuff). :D

Floated the Dearborne river in Montana back in '66 with some friends. Fished until dark, then pulled off into a place that had a decent place to pitch a tent. One of my buddies went down to the creek and filled up the big old porcelain coffee pot that our Montana resident rancher, Skip had brought along to show us how to make cowboy coffee. Skip threw in a hand full of grounds and put the pot on the fire to boil for a while, then cracked an egg and slid it down inside the pot. He said the raw egg would settle to the bottom and as it cooked it would capture the grounds to keep them out of the brew. Tasted OK, but a little gritty. Next morning at first light we stoked up the fire to warm up the coffee. Skip flipped the lid and looked into the pot to see how much was left and got a funny look on his face. He reached into the pot and pulled out a green slimy mess that included a chunk of dried up cow patty....seems that when our buddy went down to the river for water in the dark, he never actually made it to the river. Instead he filled the pot from a backwater slough used as a watering hole by the rancher's cattle. I'll never forget that lesson in making cowboy coffee!
