Thanks, Barb! We both drink instant coffee black, but I might try with cream, for the drip. I do like it black, though. I never knew that about 8 o'clock coffee being an A&P brand_that's interesting.

My dad was an A & P Store manager for thirty six years and at the time eight o'clock coffee and red circle coffee were A & P brands. There also was a very heavy coffee that completed the trio -- it was called bokar and was very bitter. Joe likes his coffee black ( left over habit from his days in the U S Navy) -- I like mine with a bit of cream !!
