Coffee Talk

American Airlines recently served me the worst cup of coffee I’d had all year. I figured the foul brew had been prepared with stagnant water. I was horrified when I reproduced an exact duplicate of the airline’s offering at home a couple days ago. I’ve been buying Kansas City-based The Roasterie coffee beans at Price Chopper out of habit for a couple of years. On impulse, I recently picked up a container of ground coffee instead. What an unpleasant shock! I never considered myself a coffee snob. Until now.
