Burger King coffee lids and general coffee talk
So I take the daughter out to breakfast this morning and go through the drive through at Burger King. Get me a large coffee as I hear it is pretty good. Now I get the coffee and it is damn good but I have 2 complaints.
1. The lids. They are the black lids like you get at any convience store with the raised part. Thats fine but they also have a damn tab on them you have to pop off before you can drink. As a feature of the lid thats fine, I really don't think actually do a whole lot as coffee will still spill out but whatever. The thing was it was rainy and overcast this morning and pretty dark in the car, I had no idea there was this stupid tab on it. Luckily I'm used to coffee always being so hot ya can't drink it for like an hour after you get it but that might have been a problem if I'm tipping the damn thing up and not getting anything until the fucking lid pops off and I have 3rd degree burns on my chin and penis. which leads to ...
2. Why in the fuck do they feel the need to fill it up 3 cm. from the top. I appreciate getting my moniey's worth but c'mon. It a styrofoam cup, you hold it and it compresses. Which means it is now 1 degree of tipping away from popping the lid off or overflowing. And in order to get the coffee to my lips I need to tip it or take the lid off and lap it like a dog. I decided to transfer it to my normal coffee mug and simply the amount I had to squeeze to get the lid of caused an overflow and piping hot coffee to land on upper thigh area ( smart enough to hold off to the side to avoid a direct crotch hit )
So BK I ask you this, give me an inch of room from the top and how about making the stupid tab a different color. Now I know about the tab so won't be fooled again but that damn thing is camouflaged good.
Now on coffee in general. I love good coffee, starbucks and all that shit. The Dunkin Doughnut coffee they sell in the stores is damn good as well. But i don't like spending 7 bucks a bag. Anybody give me a good way just to make a good pot of Folgers or something like that. I drink alot of coffee and never seem to get a great pot.
Every once in awhile I'll make one thats like" damn, thats great" but its like a fluke and I never do anything different when I make it so not sure why sometimes it just seems to magically be good.
I usually use 4 tablespoons for a 12 cup pot. I know on the stupid coffee cans it says like 1 tablespoon for cup that that seems like an insane amount of coffee in the filter....
Help anyone??

I bartended for a little while and I was taught a very good trick for brewing good coffee. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the coffee grinds/grounds?? before you brew it. The salt will enhance the coffees flavor.
Hope this helps. :wink:
