When did we get to the point where they look at you kinda funny when you order just a plain, high-test coffee, no sugar, no foofiness? (I’ll add my own cream, thank you very much.) I am finding that I need to go to a convenience store just to get a cup of coffee anymore, and even then it’s a hunt and search proposition because of the dozen offerings, none of which is “Regular.”. My kingdom for the days when our only choices were “Regular” and “Decaf.”

Did they ask you your middle name when you ordered?

I had my one cup at 5:30 this morning And I didn't have to go out anywhere to get it. :)
Me too! 100% Colombian, baby!

I visited my cousin and her partner over the summer in New England (figures!). They had this weird machine that you squeeze and strain some special $20 per bag coffee into it. My god, from the sound of them you’d think it was some sort of orgasmatron or something. I was castigated for saying the coffee was okay but I’d much prefer plain old Regular.
