Question of the Day

How strong do you like your coffee???

I want it to show up on a drug test!!!

If it doesn't kick in my two front teeth on the way in, I don't want it. I like to chew my coffee.

When you stand a spoon in it and it falls to the side of the cup it is weak.

I think y'all were the guys that made the coffee at the trade school that I attended in Louisiana. You could use that stuff for tire black.

My dad's family ran the print shop at the San Antonio Express News. We always referred to it needing to be "printers' ink".

Strong and black.

Black as hell and strong as death!



So strong it wakes up the neighborhood!

There is a really good stand up with Bert Kreischer about how he likes his coffee.

I like mine very strong and black. And after a few years roaming the world in the WWII submarine Navy, I came to like a splash of hydraulic fluid in it. If I couldn't see the cat's eyes in it, I wasn't happy.

Machinist Mate on a diesel? Thanks for your service.

A work buddy of mine asked me to help him move some heavy furniture. He was getting his own place because he was getting a divorce. When we were at his house his ex wife was there, she was pretty and friendly. She seemed pretty pleasant about the whole thing. Offered to make sandwiches and Ice tea. When We left his house I asked him why he was getting a divorce?... He said because he likes his women the same way he likes his coffee... Not full of Dicks...

No, I was a fire control technician, but we all got most of our coffee from a common pot, in the chow hall, critically located right beneath the drip pan that caught the oil from the junction of three hydraulic hoses!

FTG here on a tin can. Coffee from mess also but no oil to spice it up.

Must have the same aroma going out as going in.

Thank you for your service! You tin can sailors were real sailors, ridin' those cans as they plowed through the waves: under one and over two. Sometimes.

FC2 on two cruiser and one carrier. 55b radar, mk 74 radar, harpoon tech, and mk 86 gfcs.

FTG4 here and you had the new stuff. LOL Look at the picture of mine here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_Fire_Control_Computer.

It was run by a computer bank that was 6' tall, 2' deep, and 12' long and consisted of over 500 old fashion vacuum tubes. Any time we had really rough water we worked non stop testing and replacing them because if one went out our whole system had to go manual.

I had the oppertunity to work on the mk 1a in great mistakes Ill. great way to learn tube theory.

thanks for your service

MIL always joked strong and black. We got ours from the gunny shack. Cat eyes were if somebody forgot the salt in the Al pot. MT/FTM2. Ship was flag for the cuban blockade. Actually was n the harpoon design team.

Our coffee pot in the office comes with premeasured packets. I get here the earliest so I make the coffee with 3 of the premeasured packets. One is a waste of water, 2 is a waste of coffee and 3 I can enjoy it. 4 will make you shake.

Black and strong. If it looks like used diesel motor oil that went a few thousand miles over the service interval, then that it perfect coffee.

edit - don't get any of that nasty cream or sugar anywhere near my coffee!

Retired SMC that got forced into the QM rate here. If the coffee will float a belaying pin it is almost fit to drink.

2 cups before 7 with a splash of milk then done.
