• All coffee today is tasteless, cheapened garbage

    Year after year every coffee brand I've tried has devolved into a
    phony substitute for coffee.

    I see all these idiotic forums which claim you need all kinds of
    mechanical junk to brew coffee correctly.

    Bullcrap!

    It used to be you needed nothing but a percolater pot or a vacumm pot
    to get decent coffee. Just as businesses have ruined all the
    chickens, pigs, cattle with GMO and other destructive methods, I'm
    sure they've done the same with coffee. Their probably also are
    using the worst grade of plants they can find.

    I've been using Gevalia - a Swedish product, for the last few years.
    This week's new purchase is garbage. Wherein it used to take one of
    those coffee measuring scoops to make a cup, it now takes three, and
    it still isn't as strong as was the single scoop. Plus, the taste is
    totally different. I'm not sure what the hell this new taste is. It
    certainly ain't that of REAL coffee.

    How ridiculous is that?

    I'm really getting frustrated with this constant seeking for a coffee manufacturer whose coffee is still REAL coffee and doesn't change
    into a weak drink of coffee flavored water over time.

    I've been drinking coffee since I was five years old. I'm now a
    couple years shy of ninety. I know what REAL coffee used to taste
    like.
