Coffee

im fortunate. Some of the best water in the country comes right out of my tap.

  Oops!, must have been somebody else you were quoting.  My water is OK, but has a lot of lime in it.  Used to be great spring water, but then the county big-wigs decided our hamlet needed well water...a step backwards, IMO !


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Below see my post from July 21, 2020 @12:39..
I regularly travel to a nearby roadside spring that has been used by local folks since at least 1822.  I take 8 one gallon jugs and fill them.
  That's where my coffee and drinking water come from.  Farmersville; the local township where the spring is located, decided to not shut down the attraction, because of it's history..only posting a CYA sign.

You are not the only one lucky like tha. My home in PA relies on a well. It needed 470 feet of drilling to get to it. Good water but hard.

I only buy Silver Springs water. Comes out of the ground about 40 miles from my house. Best natural spring water I’ve ever drank.

[ironglows]

We have a couple local springs like that, about 18 miles from me.  Once called the "Great Bear Spring" and another one used by a local bottler, is located on a farm owned by my childhood buddy.  He passed away a couple years ago, and I suppose his widow still manages the spring.
  The water is bottled by a regional firm that also markets apple cider in quantity. folks in western NY State, would recognize the name immediately.

IG: and that name is......??

I detest instant coffee.

If you get any around here that you didn't
make yourself, more than likely that's what
you'll get. To the mexicans around here
caf- ay means Nescafe or Don Pedro


I use instant if it means doing without,
just like I'll eat a bologna sandwich
rather than going without

Folgers used to make "tea bags" of coffee in foil packets. Maybe they still do. They were great to keep in a backpack.

[Lloyd Smale]

yup and a 100 times better then any instant coffee.

I can honestly say ive NEVER bought water. Our water comes from underground water that is filtered by God and ends up in lake superior.

[ironglows]

I've seen a little filter basket
specifically made to work in
those K machines. You fill it
with bulk coffee and run it
through your machine

  I had one of those, a little green one.  Sometimes it worked OK, sometimes it didn't !  ..But to be fair, it didn't fit my Keurig in a manner that engendered confidence.


 If my son had not bought the Keurig as a gift,I would probably still be using my old 2-cup, Mr Coffee !


  Bill didn't steer anyone wrong when he suggested instant coffee, since those freeze dried coffees, particularly Taster's Choice, are a step up from the old powder type (IMO).

[oldandslow]

Yup that's me. Put on a pink shirt take my golfin club in my beemer and go to Starbucks .

What?  No one goes to Starpukes and orders a grande, double latte, mocha, caramel macchiato, expresso, cappuccino?  Or whatever?



I don't own a golfin club or a beemer but I do own a pink golf shirt because my youngest grandson dared me to wear one and I called his bluff. I wore it once out in public to prove to him that grandpa really didn't give a hoot about what people think about the way he dresses. Now I only wear it at family get-to-gethers and will probably never wear the thing out. I will also confess to trying to drink one cup of Starbucks coffee a long time ago which I quickly threw in the trash. Yuck. If I'm going to buy a cup of coffee in my area I go to McDonalds. I don't know what coffee they use but it's pretty good.

I bet your water is no better than mine but my wife still insists on buying bottled water because it is easier to get a cold bottle of water out of the refrigerator than to get ice and tap water out of the fridge's dispenser.  I retaliate by insisting that it be Ozarka bottled water which is supposed to be real spring water and not just processed water. She also has a habit of not turning out lights and leaving ceiling fans running. Her father worked for the local electric co-op and I tell her she doesn't need to help make sure he has a job anymore.

Never had one of those one shot machines.
Closest thing was an expensive espresso
machine I once had.  An old girlfriend took
posession of it along with everything else
in our apartment while I was at work one day

I tell everyone in my household the often repeated Father-that-pays-the-bills quip:

"The lights turn OFF too!"

[oldandslow]

I do too and I bet it works just as well for you as it does for me. 

[Lloyd Smale]

are you sure were not married to the same women???

Yup that's me. Put on a pink shirt take my golfin club in my beemer and go to Starbucks .

Instant coffee. While I am not a fan of Starbucks, they do sell an excellent instant coffee.
