I started drinking coffee as a PVT E1. GOOD STUFF. "Dish water" in Mermite Cans (Soldiers & Marines will know what those are). I drink a lot of coffee. I make it w/ a Chemex glass pour-over pot. I do like good coffee & local commissary my fave German Kronung brand. Folgers French Roast will do. I like my Vietnamese filter and Brass Turkish cup from KFOR. What's your pleasure?

A day without coffee is like a day without sunshine.

A senior coffee at McDs is about the best thing going. At home we use one of those single-cup brewers. I usually wake up about 0300, make myself a cup, and then go right back to sleep til about 0800 or so.

Did the last 1/3 of my Career on Ships out of Bremerton, I am a Coffee and Sugar Starbucks Junky. Expensive Coffee or nothing at all. Having served on Ships I also learned don't let a Snipe make Coffee, They don't know the difference between Coffee and Bilge Water.

Georgia Coffee from Japan. Comes in a can either hot or cold from the vending machine.

Since being in the Navy, coffee is a lifeline; ship's coffee "looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine" but that was there for us to consume as much as we wanted; saved me on mid-watches. I bought a Kruig to see about the hype. I found myself a refillable Kurig K-Cup for coffee grounds. After that I was set.

I love Folgers Vanilla Biscotti and Copper Moons Tropical Delight. Yummy stuff. I haven't had the privilege of trying the coffee outside of the country yet but I am hopeful. My buddy just got back from Italy and he said they have 1.5 hr coffee breaks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). Who could complain about that?

Starbucks is OK but I only go there once in a blue moon and grab me a Green Tea Latte, or a Hot Green Tea; I can't spend 4-6 bucks for a medium-sized coffee. I just prefer to have my coffee at home; it's free and I can have as many cups as I want.

There's nothing like a good cup of Joe! No matter the time of day, weather, heat or what! I think back at the times in the wilderness area around the camp fire. Put the pot of water, hand full of coffee in the pot and watch it simmer. I remember the times on Cowboy TOC where my canteen cup sat on top of the heater, and only got piss warm, but it was GOOD! Coming past the mermite can and getting a couple dippers full of coffee, then headed to a place on the ground to sit down, take a swig, close my eyes and be somewhere else for a small second.
Yes, that cup of JOE was and still is the most fantastic part of my DAY!!!

If I had too much caffeine for the day, I would still go for a cup of coffee that is non-caffeinated too trick the mind.
