But do not eat em in public and smile.
Folgers use to make coffee bags like tea bags by the cup. Took them backpacking. But now I am a fresh grind my own French press snob.
Not always. The coffee on my destroyer was thick as honey and I could walk up the steep ladder well to CIC with 4 cups, the ship ricking with the seas, on Starboard watch, and not spill a drop. It was nasty, but crucial to not fall sleep in a dark combat control center.
