It has been years since I had a good cup of Eight O'clock Coffee. Mother used to buy that all the time at the A & P in New Castle, PA. After I left home and joined the Army, I had some of the worst coffee I had ever tasted. I would go to the Post Exchange and buy a jar of Folgers instant coffee so I could have something that tasted a little better in my room. I got a little pot to warm water, so that was most of my coffee until I got married and we had a regular electric percolator. We use Folgers coffee now, but sometimes through our food program at the church we get some off-brand kinds of coffee. I usually use it because it is free, but my wife will not drink anything at home except Folgers. Sometimes we get coffee beans and I grind them when I am ready to make a pot of coffee. It tastes a lot better that way. I can remember mother buying coffee beans and grinding them in the store. My sisters and I would pick up some of the coffee beans that had fallen down into the tray and eat them. I guess we didn't worry so much about germs in those days. Don in AZ
