I was in military for over 23 years and coffee is coffee to me. Yes, some are tastier than others but at end of day I am just looking for the caffeine. Taste is an after thought when you get woken up at 2am for operations. I also drink it black.

    Its what I drank for 20 years until I got some amazing coffee for my birthday one year. I just couldnt go back. If you've retired from military life and have the time to enjoy instead of rushing for ops it might be time to treat yourself.

    Also, weigh it. Volumes change with different beans and grinds. Weights dont. Kitchen scales are cheap and easy.

    Folger's tastes like jail coffee, which tracks with the "coffee is coffee" philosophy 😂

    One pays you and sets you up for a life afterward, the other takes away your dignity and everything you had put together for your life.

    Army coffee is special. Part of its effectiveness in waking you up is the shockingly bad taste, which you maximize by drinking it black. It's better when it's bad, because you're gonna drink it anyway.

    You want wimpy good-tasting coffee, go join the Air Force.
