  1.  @willford7717  To be fair to company coffee, it does taste crap even when fresh, simply because I will bet you nobody has ever stripped the machine and cleaned the basket, or even the carafe, let alone run descaler through the water circuit. I do go to a place where they have the automatic machine, and the first thing I do there before pressing is run the cleaning cycle, which puts out a lot of nasty gunk every time. Then select espresso, and then cappuccino, and pour the first into the second. Only ever tried the stuff they call tea once, it tasted terrible, sort of vaguely tea like smell, but it was definitely not a good tea at all.

  2. How about coffee bags, which is ground coffee in a tea bag, which you brew in a tea pot, exactly the same as tea, or in the actual cup itself, like a tea bag, removing when at the desired strength, and enjoying the brew as you like. Me, I drink instant coffee, and yes there are some brands that are better used as brown colour for dirt, but there are a lot of instant coffee blends on the market. Filter yes if I am out, but for what you get at the price, it is not always worth it. I go past the overpriced green logo coffee place to the shop behind them, which serves to my taste a better brew, and at the same time I can indulge in my fast food meal, a chicken salad with hot sauce, and peri peri chicken livers. Place the order and 2 cups, first for while I wait, and second for the walk home.

  3.  @JonathanWinterflood  Absolutely, and while it is branded Azkoyen, I have no doubt it was a Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser machine in either an early form, or a well hidden prototype, or one which got accidentally left here in the restore from the backup. A clue is the machine clock, which is a running a few years fast, around 70 years.

  4. I will say the best coffee I ever had was from a chain of restaurants by me, the one with the big W logo, at 6AM one morning, when they had just opened up, and that machine was absolutely sparkling clean in every part, and this was the first prepacked coffee puck that went into the filter for the day. So good I had another 2 cups as refill, along with my bacon and egg brekkie.
