Who needs milk?
Black, straight up with no
flavor disguisers.
My coffee pot is a very
old style percolater.
No paper filters. I can
brew it as weak or strong
as required, and patient
enough to let it happen.
Conveniences cost money.
The coffee pot never sees
dish soap, nor does my
coffee cup. Both sport a
coating of coffee “tar”
that helps to smooth out
a sometimes bitter taste
that can vary even in the
same brand.
I rinse both out with very
hot water before starting
the next pot.

I’m coming over to try this, but I may need to bring a little raw cream and natural sugar in case. I haven’t adopted to the black coffee yet.

“Black, straight up with no flavor disguisers.”

Yes. My boss used to treat” us with flavored coffee. The bagel shops in the area would sell it to groups in a box. The smell made me gag — had to leave the room. Hazelnut was the worst.

I almost never wash my coffee cup. Just a strong swish of the hottest tap water.

Just what the Shark Tank staff would be eager to do. You don’t need a percolator, either. Just use Turkish coffee and throw some hot water over it in the cup, stir, and wait for the sediment to settle. But the question is, what should the Shark Tank employees be doing for coffee instead of spending $5.50 a cup. For them, a coffee maker with filters would work and be much cheaper, and probably better.
