Ha. When I was in the Air Force, I was told to make the coffee for my flight (similar in size to a platoon). Well, I wasn't a coffee drinker at the time (am now), nor had I ever used a percolator like they had. Big thing, at least a few gallons. Filled it with water, put a filter in it, and filled the filter section full of grounds.
About 15 minutes later, there was a confab betwixed a few of the drinkers. They asked the NCOIC to never have me make coffee again.
“They asked the NCOIC to never have me make coffee again.”
Ha, the wimps.
The guys in FDC in my old artillery unit loved my coffee.

The captain did not.
Same result.
