When I enlisted in the AF and became a Missile Combat Crewmember I became addicted to coffee. Had to stay awake through the Alert. I did not want to get fat so I drank it black, as God did intend!
Some of the Titan II sites had nasty water and the sludge we brewed could have been added into the missile for extra fuel but we drank it anyway.
Once I commissioned and went on Minuteman crew, we were not allowed a brewer in the capsule so I made my own strong stuff and had a huge thermos to take out on Alert.
If it doesn't eat through a ceramic mug it is not strong enough for me!
Take care!
LOL

Let the sissy boys pull about 1/3
Add new grounds, top off and brew.
Welcome to Range 63, where the coffee will kill you quicker than a short round....
LOL!
I hated coffee until I was stuck working on an IT contract in a large cold storage room for Delta Airlines. It was free and the only way to stay warm.
After a week...I was hooked.
I’m not as bad as I used to be. I used to drink it in the middle of a summer afternoon. Now I drink diet dew.
You would love the stuff our maintenance shop makes! Oh my sweet petunias. I nearly gagged on it one day and they laughed at me. Told me that it would grow hair on my chest. I told them, “To he!! with my chest. It’ll grow it on my teeth.”
I love my coffee. Youngest child is planning an intervention when he returns from Iraq. (His sister can’t keep a secret.) But I will not drink the asphalt that our maintenance crew produces.
