Dust off the now in vogue idea of brewing your coffee in an old school percolator.  Yes a percolator.  It doesn’t take hiring an archaeologist/adventurer to find one either.  Raid the ark of lost coffee percolators here:

Cops and Coffee go together like apple pie and ice cream.  It’s no secret that the key behind top notch law enforcement is the quality of their coffee.  Just as important as the quality of the law dogs’ go juice is the speediness in which they can make it.  Most Police officers have to be ready to jump at a moments notice when something pops off and they can’t be waiting around for a big pot to finish brewing.

Any good cop has to be a good problem solver and to solve the speed and quality quagmire they sometimes find themselves in when brewing coffee,  cops keep coffee pods in their ammunition belts.  Coffee pods are single serving packs of good quality coffee.  So they are ready for anything that is thrown their way.

Thanks Mr. Policeman for being so prepared.

WHAT ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE COFFEE BEANS?
Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world,also going by the name civet coffee or civet cat coffee. Kopi Luwak coffee sells for anywhere between $100 and $600 per pound.  A cup of cafe Luwak coffee in an upscale restaurant would cost about $33.00 to $50.00.  Of the few restaurants or coffee shops that carry Kopi Luwak, it is reported that typical sales are about four cups sold per week.  Don’t let the Hawaiian sounding name fool you.  When you buy Kopi Luwak it is not coming from Honolulu as most great kona coffee is produced.

In their day the top four advertisers were Folgers Coffee, The Maxwell House Coffee Company, Sanka Instant Coffee, and Nescafe’s Tasters Choice Instant Coffee.  Take a walk with me down memory lane and tell me if I am wrong in these being the top four worst vintage coffee commercials.
