August, Thanks for this Coffee story, I enjoyed it.

I have known of this Echo but don't think I've ever posted here or even Joined
it all all.

Never was a big Coffee Drinker, I began drinking it in the Navy on a Night
Watch.
No one wanted to make it that night, someone asked Me if I could make coffee
and I said I'll try.

When opening the 72 Cup Pot I noticed it was stained from earlier days.
I washed the pot and basket, filled water to the 72 line inside the pot, put
coffee grounds in the basket up to the 72 mark, assembled it all together and
plugged it in.

Others said it was real good and I could brew coffee for the shift anytime.

A few weeks later I began drinking coffee - with lots of Sugar and Cream.

I didn't drink coffee much in civilian life, maybe I'd get a cup at White
Castle when driving home from work around Midnight once in a while.

I've just about quit.  It was a few days before I retired when I drank coffee
at work. 
That was in 1996.
