Oh yeah, this is why I usually make my own coffee at home. And don’t get me started about this scone…ick.

    They’re a little better if you heat them on the stove top first. (That whole scone on the range thing they sing about.)

        At the fag-firm we used to switch from Gevila to Sam’s Club depending on supply.
        That’s like going from a Ferrari to a Yugo with no breaks.

    Walmart uses some coffee service. The coffee is prepackaged in foil packs with the amount you are supposed to use for one pot. Tradition is you use two of those. It’s not Intelligentsia, but I’ve had far worse.

    I had dinner at a Panera in DeKalb/Sycamore/whatever once, and wasn’t too impressed. I’d wager that Panera translates from some old dead language as an idiom meaning “all show and no dough”.

    I’ve had good coffee at Panera. I’m partial to their cheese danishes. I was hoping Wegman’s here in NoVa would have better coffee than they do. Their Seattle Dark tastes like Starbuck’s burned-lima-bean roast. (If you roast it dark enough, lima beans taste the same as coffee beans.) Whole Foods is the best grocery store for coffee in the area, so far as I’ve seen.
