I drink coffee more during the colder months.  Not so much the rest of the year.  My choice is what ever the wife buys at home or whatever the convience store has.  Currently at home it's Folgers, mountain grown.  The motel provides Maxwell House.

Truth be told, I like tea better, cold not hot.  There I like the diet Snapple peach or raspberry.  I usually get a bottle to go and then get the individual mix packets to refill it.  The drinking water the railroad provides is currently in 10oz bottles and 3 bottles provide 2 refills.

As you may gather, refined I ain't.

I buy the beans and grind them myself. I've always liked a robust cuppa but I drink too much of it as in the whole pot every morning. Ah well, keeps the kidneys functioning. Wink

Stuff we have in our office isn't even fit to be tossed into the ballast.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Whatever they are brewing in the station. "Don't throw that away. It'll still be good at 2 AM."

Ok, enough of the CP/NS, crossing discussions, and political crap for a few minutes:

At the risk of sounding like our resident troll, just curious what people (including non-RRers, you people are people, too) are drinking lately.  I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but have been drinking more lately.  My choice of brew?  Rogers Company  San Francisco Bay Rainforest blend. 

And this is relevant to the forum, because you don't want to see a railroad operate wihtout coffee. Just isn't going to happen.  Although a lot of the newer guys like those cans of chemicals disguised as energy drinks.  Ugh.
