Who was it with and how was it made?

Pop had this metal drip pot that he would put over the pilot lite over night adding sugar and cream and by the morning you could stand a spoon in the small cups that he would pour it in. If the spoon did not stand up he would lite the fire and get it stronger.

I like my coffee strong but not so strong the spoon would stand in it, or as my dad would have said put hair on your chest

When I make the first of the morning pot at work they have a grinder that self-measures as it grinds but how good the coffee is depends on what kind of beans they've contracted to buy at the time, they were getting New England Coffee Roasters and we were getting a really good pot of coffee but they've switched to a brand I've never even heard of before now (Citavo) and some days it's good other days it's undrinkable.

At home it's Community Coffee Dark Roast. I rather liquid creamer because I don't have to put sugar in it. Powder Creamer is good when it's hurricane season. When hubby comes with a cup I just don't asked.

At home I take mine with 1 sweet-n-low and milk at work I use half & half. I have a big mug that I use I don't like the cups that come with sets of dishes they don't hold a cup of coffee they just hold a teaser.

Just the smell of coffee can bring you back to a time and place where memories are good. I found at a garage sale an old drip pot like the one I remembered from Pop's house. During the "K" Hurricane back in 2005, I found out you could make coffee using a clean black molasses tub and the drip pot. Days I don't miss.
