bad coffee
-
I normally only drink my own from home or make my own in the evenings.... I was a bit sleepy today so I just got coffee from the break room.... Now I remember why I make my own. Just how difficult is it to make coffee? It tastes like a rat crawled inside the filter and went hot-tubbing in the coffee grounds. Now ground coffee never tastes as good as fresh or pressed, but how in the world do Engineers mess up coffee THIS bad?? Coffee isn't rocket science! perhaps here it would be better if it were.... :( I guess it is back to diet coke until after hours so I can make my own without it all disappearing.

if it's a typical work coffee pot it was last cleaned before being packaged in the factory. X| edit: Get a giant coffee thermos, and guard the pot until it's done and you can take it all away with you.

You still work out in the desert somewhere, right? What you call water, we call "sewage"...

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Your work has a automated coffee machine that grinds fresh beans before it dispenses a cup. :-D

Back in October I spent 2 weeks in the UK on holidays and was amazed at how poor the coffee was. It was either really weak or extremely bitter. Greatefully, it was a holiday, so I replaced the liquid intake I missed from coffee with another. :)

Aren't you in the US ? Do they HAVE good coffee over there ? I've not found it and I'm coming close to having spent a year of my life there.

We have great coffee in the UK. Or course, it comes from Kenya or Colombia.

Hey!:mad: Where do you think they got the water to make those beers you were guzzling last time you were here? It doesn't officially become sewage until you've finished processing it. Granted, very little "processing" is required - no need even to change the color - but the order is still important. ;P

You're kidding, right ? That's not coffee. Do Starbucks even make coffee that's not full of syrups ? I have vivanos from starbucks now. When I hit the ground in Australia, Sydney or Melbourne, the first thing I do is go to what I have established to be the best cafe in either airport.
