RE: It's more than brown water - twisteroo - 05-26-2014
I had a couple of pots of chock full o nuts this weekend.
I really like dunkin donuts coffee, mcdonalds is also good, denny's coffee is pretty damn good too and most any diner around here as great coffee. At work it's gotta be maxwell house, folgers, or chase sanborn.
We have a keurig also.......meh. I mean it's good and quick and all and you can get a thousand different kinds of coffee, but there is something about making a pot.
My favorite coffee in the keurig is wide awake.

We use the Keurig too, but I bought those same As Seen on TV cups and they just fell apart in a few days. Three years ago I bought these refillable brown cups on sale, something called EcoCup or some stupid shit like that. Normally $16 if you find them online, Stop & Shop sells them for $10 each. So far they worked out to .33ยข / year and going strong.
Kcups are friggin expsnsive! You're paying for the paper and plastic instead of the coffee which is expensive enough as it is.
I have the 10 dollar cup and the 4 2.50 cent cups, my uncle had told me the el cheapos screens will pop right out if you squeeze or smash them so i just never put them in the sink, as soon as the pod cools off i rinse it out and chuck it back in the basket o'goodies by the keurig, biggest problem with the cheap cups is the lids not snapping shit any more but since youre applying pressure from the top when you close the unit that's actually not an issue.
LOL A&P changed their name to superfresh and started washing their beef off with bleach. or was that safeway? prolly both lol idk we always shopped at giant food because my grandpa built every single one ever built until 1993. grandpa had it like that though, when we'd come to the store the manager would often come over and "reduce" our bill which usually meany a huge free package of steaks or a couple free bottles of wine. shit to this day if i go through the u-scan and i scan it and toss it in the bag and it fucks up, i dont re-ring jack shit, its mine i worked for it.
oh right coffee.
I used to be all about gevalia hazelnut, back when i wore a black trench coat and used my car as a place to store every cool sticker i could find, jesus has it really been 20 years?

any of you guys tried the donut house keurig coffee? the wife likes that as an alternative sometimes.
RE: It's more than brown water - Twitchin Kitten - 05-27-2014
I did when we first got ours. I didn't like it.
The best coffee around here is the Toms River Diner. Decaf or regular they are the shit.

The french roast and columbian whole beans I get are 8 O'Clock.
I remember the A & P with 8 O'Clock back at the deli counter and they would custom grind the whole beans for you there.
TenFour.......it was Acme that became Super Fresh. A & P bought Pathmark and floundered. They are currently under bankruptcy restructuring.
I remember their "store brand" was Ann Page. Acme's was Lancaster Brand.

A & P used to be awesome when I was in NY. Acme too. I remember the Ann Page brand!
A & P used to have the grinding machine at the end of the check out registers and you ground your own.

not to be a dick on the A&P thing but i took the sign outta the dumpster when they ripped it down and make a bike ramp out of it
Quote:Super Fresh is a chain of supermarkets owned by A&P, which introduced the brand in 1982, converting its Mid-Atlantic region stores to the new name.[1] Super Fresh's 24 stores are mostly in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, plus Delaware and southern New Jersey.[2] Several Super Fresh stores operated in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area into 2003, when they were rebranded to A&P's Sav-A-Center banner. One Super Fresh in Philadelphia also had been rebranded to A&P's Food Basics banner. Super Fresh also operated in Canada; its stores have been rebranded as Food Basics.

Now for the snob report on coffee. He actually caved into Chock Full O' Nuts
I never heard of Community.
TenFour, A&P was much bigger here on the east coast I guess. It was huge in NY when I was growing up. By the 80's it started to disappear. I have two of them here by me and they are nothing like they once were. If they are going by PathMark standards, which it looks to be, it's gone to shit IMO. People here like PathMark, but I find the store filthy, has a foul odor and the food sub-par.
RE: It's more than brown water - TenFour - 05-28-2014
we had 3 in manassas/fairfax area we just, one moar tyme, didnt shop there.
if giant didnt have what we needed usually the IGA that was independently owned was where grandpa preferred to spend his money if it wasn't giant.
