It's Starbuck's. Not a bad commercial grade coffee.

Not Starbucks (although their new blonde coffee is OK). Best coffee to me was from a 30 cup percolator (remember those?) in the Personnel Office of the USS Kitty Hawk in 1969-1971.

Percolated coffee really is the best. Do they still sell those flat filters with the holes punched in them in the corners so you can wrap it around the grounds and fit the ends over the percolator stem?

The answer ot that question depends on how a person prefers their coffee. I do not care for strong coffee was places like Starbucks would be buckles if everyone was like me.

Most places are hit and miss so I seldom drink coffee out.
According to my wife I make an excellent cup of coffee but I believe she is playing Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn with me.

I prfer Maxwellhouse French Roast

I understand completely. I remember how good the cup of coffee was after we spent a couple of days on the perimeter in the army.

I had to wait until 8:30 after my blood draw.

The idea of sacrifice is good, but my coffee is just not on the table.
ps jesus gave up his coffee and so on...not me!
Yup....the best pleasures are delayed pleasures!

You won't have good coffee unless you have good water. The water also has to be HOT to brew the coffee. First boil the water in the kettle pour into glass coffee pot to measure then into coffee maker. I own a B&B and I use Maxwell regular roast and people love my coffee and cannot believe it is Maxwell. But it must be brewed right.
