It's just a caffeinated beverage to give you a boost. It tastes the same warmed up as it did in the first place.

Coffee story…this is no s**t. (historical note, military stories must begin with that just as fairy tales must begin with “once upon a time”)
The lowest ranking guy always made the coffee in the maintenance shelter. We had a brand-new skeeter wing who didn’t drink coffee and had never made coffee in his life. Didn’t matter, us two stripers wouldn’t help. The NCOs wouldn’t help. So he did much the same as nasa and filled the basket of the 30 cup pot to the top with grounds. All were busy giving skeeter wing crap about his coffee making skills when the Maintenance superintendent (CMSgt) showed up unexpectedly. He, of course, was offered a cup of coffee by the shift chief. He drank it and declared that “at least you guys know how to make coffee”.

My story is different: Was at my first duty assignment on night shift. They put me in for coffee maker detail immediately. First pot of the night got me noticed and I was a favorite from then on out. They made me the "senior coffeemaker in charge" - LOL - promotion. Got me Airman of the Quarter nomination (which I boarded and won). I grew up on crushed beans in a pot, filtered when served through a mesh colander.
I don't miss those coffee days and am now considered a snob.
THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!

Just for Tom, on the lighter side. My personal alltime fave is Kenya AA-hard to find, even at Starbucks sometimes. I discovered a new runner up earlier this year, but the store only stocked it for a few weeks, new brand. I got to buy 2 bags, then they quit stocking it, got the shelf full of other varieties/roasts under the new brand, just not that variety. LaVazza Santa Marta. light/mdm roast. mmmmm. I may have to go online and get that one over the net on occasion, not something I ordinarily would do but I liked it that much.

Apparently, I have never had a great cup of coffee in my life, or even good really, since I've always had the drip/burner thingy or those K-cups. It was always fine with me though, but perhaps the Army ruined my taste buds. I just drink tea now because I got tired of coffee and maybe the crap I was drinking is why. Of course, I use bags, so I'm probably not drinking good tea either.............

I didn't drink much coffee before I was 30 and it was probably a few years after that that I had "the cup" that changed it for me. You'll know it when you have it.
Even though that same coffee shop where I had that 1st great cup is still around today (maybe 15+ years later), it seemed like the coffee started to move more toward "regular" coffee, and I was on a quest to find "it" again.
I've made some good coffee over the years but I finally had that religious experience again in that Woods Coffee shop I mentioned in the 1st post. So I'm reviving the quest - with a little more vigor - because I never really did stop pursuing it.

I do prefer to grind the beans myself but today it's plain Old Folgers Colombian Dark and it's pretty darn good.
My current favorite is the Costa Rican from World Market stores, very smooth and good flavor, and a good price. It must be well liked because its always sold out on the shelves, it comes in beans but I grind it there because I'm lazy. I also had to get Death Wish from Amazon to give it a shot, its touted as the Strongest Coffee but it calls for double the dose of what I normally add to the pot.
