I like heavy coffee too. I won't drink the stuff my wife makes. She
likes coffee that taste's like anything BUT coffee! Same way with tea.

The stuff Starbucks is selling as its 'Christmas Blend' is a good
tasting coffee.

John, you have no tastebuds!

Bull****. I use about four heaping tablespoons of the stuff for six
cups of coffee. Tastes better'n what the Army used to serve.

Army coffee sucked and turned me off coffee forever.

Navy coffee - ok, I'll give it to the Squids - they could make a good
decent cup of coffee. And terrfic apple pies. Ain't nothing like
Navy coffee and slice of apple pie. Navy chow is the best - hands
down.

Air Force coffee wasn't half bad either. Food sucked though.

But that Army crap - EEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depended on the unit as to the food. We had a head cook who worked at one
of the better restaurants in Marin County, who knew how to spice foods.

I had a mess sergeant in Germany who was a pastry buff. The regular
chow was OK, but this guy would get up way before anyone else and fix
all kinds of danish, cream rolls, etc. for breakfast. Truly a miracle
worker in the field.

Soon after that they took the mess section away from the company sized
units and moved them up to battalion. That's when the Army went to
't-rations', no cooking involved, just heat the trays and serve.
Everything tasted the same. Thank God for Tobasco.
