    Uh Horkn , you seem a bit confuzzled about what coffee really is. Now, if we're talking caffeine, you're gooder to go.:yes:
    Worked with a guy who musta drank 6 of those every day, and that was just at work.

    This unfortunate state of affairs needs a remedy, STAT!
    Grab a second cup and when you pull the carafe, set the cup on the plate while pouring from the carafe, or just set your cup under there until full (this would require more waiting than desired).
    Waiting for coffee is so....so.....wrong.:coffee:

    Yes caffeine. I have 1 dew in the morning for wake up juice. That's why most people drink coffee. There are some weirdos that actually like the taste of coffee though;)

    While I haven't had "dewshine", I've had the throwback real sugar dew, and it wasn't as good as the regular stuff. I'll have to try the dew shine though.

    Usually Maxwell house through whatever cheap drip coffee maker we’ve got on the counter or if I’ve got the fire ripping my campfire percolater on the woodstove is good. Can’t do to much caffeine I think I’d have “the big one” if I did so I put down a lot of decaf. During the day on the road it’s usually DD once in a while Tim Hortons, but it always tastes burned to me. Sometimes if I see it I’ll try out some local roaster stuff either beans or ground not real picky. Always drink it black though no additives.:coffee:. As a side note my 4’6” 120 pounds soaking wet great grandma used to put down two whole pots of Folgers a day by herself and she would drop a scoop of grounds in the pot before flipping the switch on. Chewable coffee you always had to remember that before taking a huge gulp! o_O

    Didn’t read This whole thread, but one of the best purchases I’ve made was our bunn coffee maker. 3min for 10 cups works for me. I have my 16 oz mug plus one pot per day of whatever is on sale in a dark roast. Hate to say my favorite is Morning Joe by $tarbuck$. Don’t buy it often, cept when it’s on sale.

    I had a bunn also. I believe I paid 89 bucks for it about 16 years ago. It did brew fast and the coffee was actually hot. What I REALLY want is a decaf that actually tastes good. I have never ever found one to this day.
