And here I've been blaming my husband every morning about "doing something" to the coffee. In coffee, “there are two kinds of off tastes,” says Kenneth David, a coffee taster and industry consultant. One is a “compost” taste, and the other is “old shoes in the back of the closet,” he says. http://www.msnbc.com/news/837091.asp?0cv=CB20
Warning! I challenge anybody to blame Bush for the lousy tasting coffee! LoL!

Administration rules essentially permit unripe or moldy beans, gravel and other junk to constitute as much as 30% of a cup of “pure” coffee, industry experts say.

KatyD, it's a matter of taste.[1]
If I had to drink my morning cup while eyeing the beady eyes of Bush, it might throw my delicate taste buds out of focus. That's why I don't have the TV on in the morning.
I have been known to go to St. Martaen for my Douwe Egberts.
Cafe Fabuloso aka damn fine coffee
Water. Coffee beans. Popcorn popper.
Roast beans in popper until as dark as you prefer. (I like a dark roast). Grind those pups. 1/8 Cup beans per 2 cups water in drip pot. Sit back and enjoy.

Has anyone tried drinking Starbucks coffee black? Whew!!! I thought that I would check out what I was missing. LOL!
In order to enjoy expensive coffee, it MUST be diluted with whipping cream and sugar and various and sundry other flavors.
So, I just drink Chock full o'Nuts. After reading this article, I suspect that it's chock full of something else but what can I do?

No matter how poor I have been in my life, I have always maintained certain standards of living, no matter the personal cost. For me, I believe in providing the best coffee and tea, best sugar and creamers, best coffee/tea pots, and service. I have been too poor to own a TV set, but I've always had a great cup of coffee in the mornings and great cups of Tea in the afternoons. It's the Little things that make life worthwhile, since revenge is allowed only for God.
