    Nope.
    And as a formerly dark roast drinker( sumatra) I now prefer the blond roast for two reasons
    Has better flavor.
    Has more caffeine.
    When Starbucks came out with the Veranda I tried for a change of pace , it's all I drink now.
    Makes a perfect cup of black Joe.
    Walmart and my local grocery store sell it cheaper than Starbucks stores, lol.

    Yeah. Pilot has been introducing the Bean to Brew system at truck stops for the last year or two. It does make a better cup of coffee, I don't care what anybody says, it will beat any percolator coffee brew. I suppose drivers will want this free, too.

    I heard from another driver that Loves is again buying these used grounds from Pilot [from these new machines]. Loves was having poor reviews using the used coffee grounds from Pilot's regular perc machines.

    I told you you couldn’t have any. But seeings how you appear to be a law-breaking type, fill your coffee maker to the two cup mark and use three hefty scoops of coffee.

    Now you can adjust the amount of hair on your chest with Coffee Mate, not cream. Cream is for meow-meows.

    The government allows up to 5% fecal and mouse matter in products we eat/drink in this country.

    Grocery outlet had 2lb bags of beans from a toaster called Running Pump I think. Wife brought it home. It’s a peaberry. $7.99. They’re an excellent bean.

    Any of you stop at Dutch Bros off the 5? There’s a couple in Redding and one in Grants Pass. Open 24 hours. Really good coffee. There’s a lot all of the PNW.

    I guess I like cheap then. It is one of the only coffees I’ve found that doesn’t taste like horrid #### when you make it really strong.

    Most other stuff has a real bad used ashtray and old cigarette butt taste when you up the grounds.
