Top 15!!!?

On the Starbucks thing, I like my coffee strong and black. NAVY COFFEE!! Maybe with a little JP-5 in it (just joking).

Anyway, I don’t need to spend $15.00 for a mocha latte venti cappuchino when all I want is a cup of caffeinated MUD that’ll tear the lining off my stomach.

Way back in 1989, I was one of many NUGs at my unit. It was my turn to make the coffee. I didn't drink it, and didn't know how to use the coffeemaker they had. It was a huge percolator type. I filled the entire basket full of grounds.

Never had to make coffee again.

Same here.
I have an old coffee maker that is kinda like an old grill. The more I use the grill, the more BBQ deposits are left on it, and the stronger the flavor.
The same coffee tasted different from my coffee maker or a new clean one.

I like my coffee the way I like my women - dark and bitter.

I will NEVER forget the taste of shipboard coffee.

Underway it has a faint taste of JP5 mixed with the skilcraft pen used to stir it.
