I'll try to be delicate; one of the reasons why I acquired my coffee habit (and also why I will only drink it at home) is that I am one of the 30% of people who find that drinking coffee stimulates my... um... digestion.  :P

This used to be a occassional issue for me, and finding it can be fixed with a couple of cups of coffee was a revelation, leading me to make it a regular thing.

It has that effect on me, too!  :rotf: I only drink it when it's very cold out, and I get sleepy while working night shifts, maybe 10 cups a year ?

Love my Coffee, the good, fresh ground, brewed at home variety.

Grew up walking through the local A & P store, taking in the aroma from the fresh ground 8 o'clock coffee.

Closest I found to it is - 8 o'clock - Columbian Peaks. I have a Cuisinart Mill and Brew with an insulated carafe. Not perfect - but - in my opinion a good overall cup of Joe - Bold, smooth, full bodied and not burnt or bitter..

Personally - not a Starbucks fan or many of the other 'specialty brands'.  As far as 'common church coffee' not a fan either, been in a can under the counter too long and usually been in the carafe way too long and is ready to peel paint..  (exaggeration there..  :rotf: )

Everyone has their own tastes and preferences, and I enjoy a little expresso or stronger coffee on occasion, but the above is my favorite go to morning cup of Joe.

Did they have A&P stores outside of the Northeast?

This was in the mid to late ‘60’s and possibly very early ‘70’s in SW Michigan. In a town of about 1,500 to 2,000 - Estimated..

A & P - Atlantic and Pacific ? 

That’s as well as the memory works at this point in time. Like a Stephen King Movie - at times it is in a little ‘Fog’
And we did not drive ‘Christine’ to the store, or have a pet dog named ‘Cujo’, our back yards did at times resemble a ‘Pet Semetary’

I remember A&P they were big in NE and when I was young boy I remember going to their warehouse in Boston with my Dad.  For a  little boy it was a huge  place with a lot of  different foods.  I especially remember the bananas hanging down on the vine and being told be careful of the tarantulas . As they were deadly

A&P was in Owensboro, KY, at one point, I recall hearing about them, but have no clue where they were in town. Most google references are of obituaries of people that worked there.

Being from the NW I can easily state that Starbucks is a horrible example of good coffee. 20 years ago they were great. The Baristas made your coffee. Now it’s pretty much automated and blah. I can do much better at home for a lot less money.
My wife and I have a machine very similar to Hughs. Love it. We also have a French press for Sunday’s. Love the way the press makes a great coffee.

Seattle coffee gear and Whole Latte love are great resources for those who love coffee. Great bean selection from both. Our current favorite is Kroger house brand Guatemalan. It’s probably the best coffee I’ve ever drank.

I would also add Chris’s Coffee as another source.

The Jura is a nice machine that makes great coffee but a little out of my price range. My $600 Saeco will have to do for now.
