Maxwell House Columbian Supreme

I am a life long coffee drinker who has a pot of coffee every day.  I make the best coffee of anybody I know - everybody tells me so, but maybe that is because they don't like to make coffee themselves. 

I drink coffee black and bitter, no cream or sugar or kiddie additives and therefore I go for the taste of the coffee itself.  Most of the frou frou coffees like Columbia Supreme are far too strong and harsh for real coffee drinkers because they are made to be adulterated by additives by weekend coffee drinkers used to swilling Starbucks ersatz coffee.

The best coffee in the Maxwell House line is Original.  I make it in a drip coffee maker and its the brand I've relied on for years.  Never bitter, and always good to the last drop.

Well that's different but I see many making coffee so thick you can stand a spoon in it then diluting it 50% or more with non coffee ingredients this coffee is undrinkable to those who don't adulterate it. I like Folgers, too, it's mild. Thanks :>

I'm one of those folks who add a little coffee to my cream and sugar LOL. Still, I have always found Maxwell House too strong for my tummy. I'm a Folgers Breakfast Blend gal...very mild.

The original is good for regular coffee drinkers. This is admired by pretend coffee drinkers. ;>

I've always wondered whether this stuff would be good to the last drop...

I don't suppose it would be your cup of tea. :)
