I haven't bought can coffee in years but I used to like, or at least 
tolerate, MJB or Chock Full O' Nuts.

I've only had Starbucks once when my brother took me to breakfast using 
a gift card he'd gotten. I lived.

What spoiled me was a load of Millstone that I carried. I picked up the 
beans at the Everett plant and delivered them to distributors throughout 
the Midwest. I'd drop a pallet or two and load displays, grinders, or 
other stuff going back to Everett. Just walking past the trailer was 
good for a buzz but all the distributors had a pot on and would keep my 
mug filled as they unloaded their stuff.

The trip back wasn't as good but it was memorable. Thanksgiving 1990 was 
when the floating bridge across Lake Washington sank. I was going up 405 
and didn't care but a lot of people coming back from their Thanksgiving 
were coming down the hill thinking 'What the hell do we do now?'

Like all good things, Millstone sold out to P&G and the Everett plant 
was shut down. I don't know if the brand is still around.  In 1990 there 
wasn't a roaster on every other block so it was a treat.

I've even roasted my own from Sweet Maria's green beans. The neighbors 
confirm their suspicions that I'm crazy when I stand out in the snow 
roasting coffee over a Coleman gas stove. If you've ever roasted coffee 
it isn't something you want to do in the house.
