Face it, it's next to impossible to get a bad cup of coffee anymore.
I'm not a frappochino-mochapresso type of guy, if you know what
I mean.
I just want my coffee black and bad.
I just want something just this side of soap sud strong enough
to keep me wired the rest of the day.
I wouldn't kick either Folgers or Master House out of bed, let me put it that way.
And I don't want to pay 4 dollars so a underemployed barista
who thinks she's doing you a favor by making eye contact can
sprinkle nutneg on my joe.
So, now, where do I find that sh*tty cup of coffee I crave, on the go?
Mcdonald's used to have the worlds worst coffee, and now they
think they are starbucks light.
Our Speedway station only has "blends" now. Now they have
"maple" flavor, which only serves to remind me that I forgot to fix
pancakes.
Dunkin Donuts calls themselves Dunkin now, and has "blends"
too. I don't want blend, I want bland.
So, folks, where can I get a sh*tty cup of coffee?
Any suggestions?

BTW, my secretary reminded me that
Shell gas stations(that didn't remodel yet),
and some Mobil stations still have that proverbial BAD cup of morning coffee. She
said that the Shell guy by her leaves the pots on for hours, and I almost wept! Thank
god for small, old fashioned gas stations.
Serving BAD COFFEE since 1952! Now, If only they still gave out roadmaps.......

John down the hall reminded me that the
United States Military still proudly serves
BAD COFFEE on all installations throughout the world. The classic stand-a-spoon-in-it, grow-hair-on-your-chest coffee
is still served in mess halls from Guam to
Bagdad! The military leaves the pots on
for 6+ hours, to more readily spread the
coagulate that forms on the bottom evenly throughout the pot. They have essentially
perfected the art of bad coffee, and will
never be equalled!

My british friend E-mailed me and said that you can get marvelous BAD cups of coffee
at Tesco filling stations throughout London,
as well as Shell UK stations. I'm glad to see bad coffee is still a worldwide phenomenon

Annie R, please have your husband e-mail
me his patented coffee making techniques.
If he truly makes the WORLD'S WORST
CUP OF COFFEE, I want to know all. And folks, it's more than letting the pot sit on the burner for hours. My method is as follows
1.) Leave blend exposed to air for two weeks. If using beans, expose in open container for a fortnight.
2.) Do not clean coffee maker. The heat
from the process cleans itself. You want
mega-coagulate uniformly spread through
the entire inside of the machine.
3.)Use cheap coffee filters that you can buy in bulk at Costco or Tesco(for our UK
friends) in lots of 6000.
4.)Leave on burner for at least 3 hours.
Let a nice, uniform coagulate form on the bottom. If you feel brave, scrape aforesaid coagulate into container to use as "flavoring" for future bad coffee.

I weep tears of joy , as I was just told about the two worst coffees in the world.
1.)Instant Coffee: So bad its good....wonderful freeze-dried coffee crystals that come alive with water. Hard
to describe how wonderfully awful instant
coffee tastes like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_coffee
2.)and, ladies and gentlemen, the worst
coffee of all time, REST STOP COFFEE
OUT OF THE MACHINE! Where the vendor
gets this marvelous synthetic concoction,
I'll never know, but why ask why? Just enjoy.

Mike, thanks for the great southern greasy
spoon chain that is Huddle House. Huddle
House has, beyond wonderfully indigestible
coffee, the ugliest restaurant menu I've
ever seen. Here's a link to it so I can share it with you all.
The checkerboard green and red color sceme looks like a traffic light that exploded.
