Coffee is coffee. Period.

I made an amazing discovery. Got a full bag of keurig pods at my brother's place, remembering he had some pod machine. Turns out it wasn't a keurig.

He has a small Bialetti espresso maker.

Turned out a ripped keurig pod emptied in the espresso maker makes for coffee way stronger than what comes out of a keurig machine.

Actually sounds logical but freshness of the grind is still gonna kill the deal
 
I don’t know that I could get on with any form of wake me up that isn’t a black dark roast coffee. Even when I’d still occasionally grab an energy drink during the day, my morning had to start with black coffee. Sometimes that morning starts at 9pm, but that part is just the life of a railroader.

Coffee is religion to me. I’m not looking for something weird in my cup.
I'm not being a smart xxx saying this but do you ever put a coin on the track ? When I was a kid I sure got a kick out of doing it .

I tried mushroom coffee once. Only once. It does provide a smooth “buzz” but is almost undrinkable. An “acquired taste” to be sure.

While working? No I hadn’t thought of doing myself. I’ve watched others do it though. I ran over one with a 100 car train and the person that put the coin on couldn’t find it afterwards. 😂
 
Mushroom? Buzz?

Wah?
When I drank a cup of it, it was similar to caffeine but a bit less “jittery “.
I was told it does have caffeine in it. The taste, IMHO, was horrible. No amount of sweeteners or cream can make it taste good.
It’s an acquired taste. One of the employees at the cafe said she drinks it everyday instead of coffee.
 
milk comes from a mammal.
That's right. Snobs will rag on you for using cow milk, say bad for the environment. Truth is that Almond milk is way worse. It takes several gallons of water to produce 1 Almond. Multiply that my how many Almonds on a tree X how many trees in the orchard and how many Almond orchards in the San Joaquin Valley and you will understand why the valley has subsided 2 feet in just several years.

Go deep on that one. Not exactly as touted
 
On the road this week from MA to Wisconsin. This morning’s Hampton Inn “coffee” was not coffee, despite what the tank holding that brown liquid said on the outside. Staying at a Drury Inn this evening. Tried their coffee (Kelso Bros.)…it was better than the Hampton Inn stuff, but still not up to “coffee snob” threshold standards. Good thing we brought our Aeropress on the roadtrip to make real coffee (the current blend is a mix of Peet’s Major Dickasons blend and 8 O’Clock). Yum.
