... saying "good coffee" would imply that there's "bad coffee" ... ... how can that be so? Come to any Tim Hortons in the GTA. To get a cup of Tim Horton's coffee that is actually GOOD coffee, you gotta go up north to cottage country about 75 to 90 minutes north of Toronto at least. Within any region of the GTA it all tastes like burnt, dirty dishwater, mostly because the lazy workers don't clean the machines properly or with any regularity....and they also don't make it consistently, making sure to always completely empty the full contents of the pouches directly into the baskets. Most often they spill most of it making a mess, which leads to maybe 1/3 to half the bag having actually gotten into the filter where it should be. Plus they will more than likely burn it by leaving it on the burner for an hour or more, while still trying to sell it as "always 20 minutes fresh". So come to the GTA then you will have your answer. Or maybe you will just ask another twp questions: "is the coffee always 20 minutes fresh, or has it simply been 20 minutes past the hour since you last checked when it was fresh and therefore still borderline serve-able by your standards?" Belieive me, I know. Many years ago I worked at a local Tim Horton's with the laziest bunch of people you'd ever want to meet and I had a lot of people return their coffees and complain that (person standing next to you) served burnt coffee. So then I make them a fresh cup out of the pot I just brewed, I take the time to do it right, to make the situation right, and customers were always happy. Then in private I would look at the time marked on their pot and it would be "made fresh 2 hours ago", but because the pot was full or half full...they would still serve it. But what aboslutely killed me was when a girl, not once but twice-- completely dumped a FULL pot of hot coffee into the garbage can! (that's right, I wrote 'into the garbage can'!) when the sink was directly behind her; all she had to do was turn 180 degrees and dump it down the sink like she was supposed to. But NOOOOOOOO, she had to be lazy and dump a full pot of hot coffee into the garbage can. The first time I saw her do that, my blood boiled...But I calmly spoke to her in private, politely asked her not to dump hot coffee into the garbage can for several reasons: 1) It's hot coffee...and you're dumping it into a plastic bag. The heat of the coffee will melt the bag. 2) It makes a complete mess. 3) Coffee doesn't belong in the garbage can, it belongs in the sink. and 4) I'm the one-- the ONLY one all day who takes out and changes the garbages, plus I clean the parking lot because we were the only store open 24 hours, and that was the rule of the Property Manager. If you dump hot coffee into a plastic garbage bag, it melts the bag and leaks all over the can, making a complete mess...and extra work for me. So please..... please don't do that again."
3 minutes later, she did it again. Well I lost my mind!!! In front of the entire store full of customers, I .... and her only response was "I'm too lazy. I don't feel like turning around to the sink, that's too much work. I can't do all this work, it's too much." Sorry for my ranting, follks. But ever since then I have refused to buy anything from Tim Horton's. Ok...fine. I admit it was the doughnuts and not the coffee that kept me going to TimmieHo's. I always preferred Second Cup over Timmy's and Starbucks. And yeah, I hear you. Working counter at a food place, you meet a hole wonderful world of new people. Same with convenience stores and dine in restaurants. ... saying "good coffee" would imply that there's "bad coffee" ... ... how can that be so? There is most definitely "bad coffee" Burnt coffee, bitter coffee, watery coffee, milky coffee, shitty beans coffee! Especially coffee with no milk in it that tastes like bitumen! I must admit, I don't enjoy coffee if it doesn't have cream and sugar...and if it isn't made properly, it can be considered bad... but when you first stumble out of bed after a long night, almost any coffee can be a godsend.

Honestly, my coffees of choice are Nabob Columbian, Illy or McDonald's (in that order). I would rather home brewed coffee from our own Cuisineart drip style maker than anything else. My sister has this really ancient maker from Black & Decker and even with Culligan filtered water it is completely tasteless. Hot water and cream.
I'm very picky when it comes to coffee. If it's not a good coffee (most preferably from my own maker at home) than I don't want it. I would rather go without and suffer the headaches. I won't go anywhere near "Five bucks" or Timothy's World Infamous or any other ritzy joint like that.

Storytime of Embarrassment Part LXIV: I had to leave for the office very early this morning, so I went to get a big coffee2go. The lady in the bakery put the open cup on the counter for me as currently they are not allowed to put the lid on for customers (Covid says hi). I stared at the open cup thinking: Wait what? How am I gonna carry that to work with no lid? I'm gonna spill everything!So I stared at the lady, the lady stared at me, obviously we were both waiting for something, like in some kind of high noon fast draw duel in slow motion. Finally I was like: "Ummm ... could I please get a lid for that cup?" The lady frowned, nodded, and pointed next to the cup where she had already prepared a plate with EVERYTHING - sugar, a napkin, one of those wooden thingies to stir your coffee, AND OF COURSE A LID for me to take. And it was directly next to the cup. I'm pretty sure the lady had a good giggle underneath her mask while I was more like ...
Obviously I apologized profoundly like the good Canadian bad Austrian I am.

My early start on Monday ended up with me scraping a whole ribbon of skin off my finger from my cuticle to the closest knuckle. That's what you get for putting the milk away from out of the crate . As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. It was very annoying, it was all oozey and gooey and stingy for ages, now it's little swollen and stiff. Did not make for good typing, that's for sure. Today's early start punishment consisted of 11 hours of crunch work with an annoying stupid finger. Hopefully next week is better Edit: this is also the finger I sliced open with a pair of scissors, doing something that I knew I shouldn't do because it would result in an injury.
