Adam: Okay. Trying the neighbors' coffee in 3...2...1... sip.
Laura: And?
Adam: Oh...oh, my.
Laura: It's that good?
Adam: It tastes like dirt and gasoline had a baby!!
People definitely have different tastes in coffee. There are a couple of restaurants we won’t go to for breakfast because we don’t like their coffee. Never had any of the dirt and gasoline flavored thankfully.
To me, that’s what Starbucks tastes like. I LIKE McDonald’s coffee – hence the reason there are SO MANY coffees and coffee shops! :o) (Stated Ms. Obvious)
As I recall, Clarke’s Super 100 stations had coffee similar to this! I doubt they ever changed the coffee basket or washed out the percolator; they just added more coffee as needed, and cooked it until it was thick as mud!
The joke was, stop at Clarke’s for gasoline, and slice off a chunk of coffee…

That’s a good way to describe the coffee at McDonald’s.

Maybe this was the new neighbor’s method of getting rid of nosy neighbors!

Gasoline and dirt, huh? So… Starbucks’ standard flavor?

“Gourmet” is no guarantee of “good”.

Ah. So they’re opening the first Tim Horton’s in the States.

so… regular coffee taste, right?

If they sell their coffee online (probably do if they work out of their home), you can do the research before you drink it.

It tastes like dirt? That’s odd. It was fresh ground this morning.
