I do like "good" coffee, but for me the morning cup(s) is more of a need than a like. In other words, I take what I can get. Some examples of less than optimum coffee: I do service work in car dealerships, and as any of you who have been in the waiting area of a dealership know, most have the vending machine with the "poker hand" cup....not gourmet. It has previously been mentioned, but I too was a victim of the "In Laws brown water brew". I used to sneak out to the local 7-11 because even the standard brew was 10x stronger. Now on a hike in sheep hunt where I count the advil tablets and sections of TP I carry.......don't hate me....instant! Well, it's good enough to wash down the pop tarts for b-fast.

I just moved from Northern California, and in that area, there are many fans of Peets for a good stout cup.
