We each drank an average of 3 gallons of coffee a day, I kid you not, it was Folgers or Hills Brothers made as strong as it could be without going bitter.

These days they have have much better out there, I had my first fresh ground bean coffee in 92 and never looked back, I drink French Roast now.

Nectar of the gods, but I am down to one pot a day now.

But man that would have been great back in the 80's
