I like Good Coffee. I know that good is a relative term, but there are certain criteria that must be met.
1. Coffee should not come out of can or jar. Especially a can or jar with the Term "flavor crystals" or any other crystals. Coffee was never in crystal form. This rule can be reevaluated if you are in Africa and you have not had a decent cup of coffee in two weeks.
2. The only thing that should be instant about coffee is when it comes out of an espresso maker.
3. Powdered creamer should never be used. Powder and cream are two terms that should never be mixed together. Nothing that is creamy should have the words powder associated with it unless it has to do with snow.
4. Coffee should not sit around waiting to served for more than 15 minutes before it is BAD.....old coffee is never good coffee.....
5. In wine making there is a phrase that goes something like this
You can't make good wine out of bad grapes. For coffee....the beans are the root of all things Good.
Thomas Edison once said, "Wine is how we know that God loves us."
Some would argue that you could say the same about dark roasted black beans .......
Anyway.......
