Amazing, so much expensive kit and they still can’t make a decent cup of coffee!

I'll bet Gale Boetticher's coffee maker was superior.

When I was a tour guide, 20 odd years ago, an old bloke taught how to make campfire coffee, I’ve been making it that way ever since, and folks reckon it’s the best!

Sometimes the problem with the coffee isnt the beans, its the water.

I'll drink to that.

It's just that most people are so used to badly oxidized, low quality, half roasted, poorly brewed coffee. Starbucks is just so different they can't get past all the real coffee flavor. My problem with Starbucks is I have to pay $3 for a cup of coffee that cost them .25! They could charge half of what they do and still make a fortune, and they'd sell even more!
