You made a nice observation that the ritual of making and perking coffee is a foundation of many family get-togethers. Consequently, coffee becomes connected to the pleasant memories of those happy days. I think of my father every time I make coffee, since it was his job and the one thing he could do in the kitchen.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-67290736466880866672018-03-10T13:38:04.861-05:002018-03-10T13:38:04.861-05:00Speaking of the old days and coffee I recall my Gr...Speaking of the old days and coffee I recall my Grandmother would have a pot on the stove with the grounds in the metal basket and the flame set high. After the coffee had 'brewed' she would pour herself a half cup of coffee and half milk with about seven spoons of sugar! I was about seven years old at the time. My Aunts and Uncles would pop in during the course of the day and Grandma would crank up the flame on that pot again only to be reminded that's it's boiling again. It seemed like there was always a fresh pot of boiled coffee! It was a wonderful time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-66141949764840758362018-03-06T08:42:09.022-05:002018-03-06T08:42:09.022-05:00Thanks for the great comments!

And I used to get a coffee to go along with a Bobs Donut when we rode our bikes there--it seemed very adult at the time! I still remember when Mom and Dad boiled their coffee right on the stove surface unit with a Revere Ware coffee pot.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-10848817268008849102018-03-06T08:18:10.019-05:002018-03-06T08:18:10.019-05:00Tim Hortons or Mcdonalds is mine!

I see on the car auction shows they're going for a lot of money. As far as coffee goes, brewed all the way! We have a pod coffee maker at work and it's not the same. Like you, the smell of opening a fresh bag is the best. I can remember standing in the coffee aisle and smelling the fresh coffee as my Mom ground it in one of those big grinding machines A&P had in their coffee aisle. Even as a kid I loved coffee (especially with a DeLuca's donut). My wife loves iced coffee...don't know why...ToddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
