“I can remember going to work in a little quonset hut on the flightline in Korea 45 years ago. Since I was the lowest man on the totem pole it was my job to turn on the heat and to make the coffee in a big ole 100 cup perculator. I caught hell if the coffee was not ready by the time the captain walked in the door. I can still see him raising hell if I told him it had 5 more minutes to brew.”
Crew Chiefs live off of coffee, even the ones who have converted to energy drinks. On my first trip to Afghanistan we managed to score a Kureg and had several people donate k-cups to us. Something I believe is worth a try, break up and dissolve some Lemon Head candies into a cup of black coffee. Yum.
coffee Ping!
I didn’t learn until a few years ago that the lightest coffee has the most caffeine... roasting the beans dark destroys caffeine. That’s why europeans drink the dark stuff all day.. less caffeine.
I’ve always read about Louisiana folks using chicory as a coffee substitute.... does it taste like it? Buzz like it?
