My usual morning ritual is to grab a cup of coffee in the AM when I wake up. I have a single (large) cup maker that I use with my run of the mill 'Folgers'. Occasionally Ill get bold and grab a can of the dark roast or burned to a crisp roast varieties that FOLGERS offers.
Well, the wife went on a week long vacation to Cabo San Lucas Mexico (with her mom and sister) and returned home with a bag of 'Cabo Coffee'. My initial impression upon smelling the bag was 'Okay, its a bit nutty and different' so I brewed some this AM.
I guess I had to get through the first cigarette to really jack my tastebuds enough to taste how bad this coffee was. 'Dark Roast Ground' is what the package said, and thats about what it tasted like. Dark roastings of the ground - when it has been raked and mucked from the bottom of a horse stable. Being the devout coffee drinker that I am, I choked this hot cup of battery acid down and grabbed another smoke and a handful of mints to mask the bitter aftertaste.
Needless to say, I aint gonna be drinking this crap again anytime soon. Looks like this is going to 'magically' appear next to the coffee maker at work (which I refuse to drink from). We have an old salt there (still wishes he was in the Navy) that drinks the swampwater coffee he brews all day long.

Are we talking about coffee or the watered-down brownish water that Americans usually drink in the "AM"?
We had an american in out research group a while ago, he was always complaining about the bitter coffee, I had a cup of starbucks once and I'm still wondering what I drank...
European coffee snobbery I guess

Dont tell me that you use those beans that are a 'delicacy' in some countries. (You know, the ones that the certain type of monkey eats then poops out)
Ill drink my folgers anyday.
Guess I should follow suit and grab a 12 pack of PBR to follow suit until my bottles are done conditioning huh? LOL

... a $3 stainless dog bowl from the pet store. If it isn't redneck, hillbilly, or otherwise downright weird, it doesn't belong anywhere near by brewhouse.
The problem is that you've been drinking Folgers. If that were the best part of waking up, I'd kill myself in my sleep.
Community New Orleans blend is what you want. Maybe some CDM.
And I think Saccharomyces changed his avatar a little while ago and then changed it back. Yeah. I saw what you did there.
