    Default bad coffee (vent)

    so i went with my dad to get some mexican eggs this morning, and naturally i order some coffee, because its breakfast. the coffee cost $1.75. when i get the coffee i add some cream and sugar drink it, and it tastes like crap. i thought to myself what is this folgers or maxwell house? the waitress brings the pot out for a refill at one point and the damn thing says folgers on it. it didnt piss me off that it was folgers, because they serve that shit at a lot of restaurants. what pissed me off is charging $1.75 for a cup of crap. some of you may be saying wow will, its only $1.75, but thats not really the issue. the issue is them charging double what its worth. they should charge no more than a dollar for a folgers cup.

    this reminds me of the movie Elf, where he sees a sign that says 'World's Best Coffee", so he brings this chick in with him blindfolded and gets her to taste it

    and shes like, it tastes like a shitty cup of coffee

    and hes like, NOOOOOOOO! its the worlds BEST cup of coffee.


    and thats the story of the day....good movie.

    If you're going to any random restaurant you be expecting shitty coffee. Unless you're in Hawaii.

    Just try it. You won't find any fancy-pants flavor squirts or wussie whipped cream topping.... just a good, solid cup of coffee.

    Well what about McDonalds selling a large coke for ten times what it is worth (they pay what $0.20 for a large coke?).

    Double is nothing.

    Well they have been trying to jump the starbucks bandwagon with flavors and shit, but most people going to DD just order plain old coffee, and it's so worth it. Although buying ground coffee and brewing it at home doesn't yield the same flavor you get when getting a cup from DD itself.

    I would say in fact that DD could stop selling donuts and just sell coffee and would still make money hand over fist.

    In Vancouver, De Dutch has the worst coffee. The best is Blenz, I love that place.

    ldo. everything is marked up more than that. it probably cost them .15 to make that cup, if not less. and mcd's pays way less than .2 for a coke im sure. im saying double what the mark up is worth. most places should sell a shitty cup of coffee in a restaurant for $1 or less. this place charges double of what the mark up should be.

    McDonalds now serves NEWMANS OWN Coffee, which is very good.
    Dunkin Donuts coffee isnt too bad either
    I really like the Whole Donut coffee.

    just order hot chocolate instead, problem solved.

    my new solution, of course, is to just get up sometime after noon, where no place would be serving coffee or breakfast anyway.

    if hot chocolate had caffeine i wouldve. yeah i guess it would be worth waking up after noon, because most mexican places keep making breakfast throughout the day.

    I agree that companies are over the top with flavors.

    If I wanted orange flavored Vodka I'd order a damn screwdriver.

    I'm too cheap for that. I'll just mix a few spoonfuls of TANG into my cheap-ass Smirnoff. :P
