ground coffee heathens

True story.

My brother, also a coffee nut, had roasted up a really nice batch of coffee and ground it up for my folks.

My father, who's always looking to save a buck had just purchased some sale "Laura Lynn" coffee (IGA?) at 88 cents a pound.

My brother wakes up the next day to do a pot of coffee for the folks to discover that .... Dad had mixed them together. Figured he didn't need that many containers of coffee cluttering things up, and he had room in the current coffee can.

:>)

That could have been me until a few years ago! Once you finally experience what coffee can really taste like, you realize that anything bought ground up in a can is simply a vehicle for caffeine and not for enjoyment ;)

At least it made what was in the can taste a little better...

I grew up in the scent shadow of the big Folgers plant in New Orleans. It left me hooked on coffee and with knowledge of what a really big amount of coffee smells like!
