    You can also get a pretty decent cup o' Joe at Mickey D's these days. Cheap, too.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    When my local McD started selling the new java I hit the jackpot. The staff was not aware of the new products yet. They were filling up the coffee cups with espresso, and selling it for $1.00. 4 shots for a dollar. That only lasted a month.

    It worked. If I get drive thru java, it's the golden arches. I can go years without tasting the food though.

    I think McDonalds's coffee is better than Starbucks and cheaper to boot. Some of the McDonalds I have been to are equipped with free WiFi; I stayed at a (horrendous) Red Roof in Rochester and they wanted to charge me daily for internet, but the McDonalds right next door had an open, free, broadband WiFi router. They encouraged customers to stay, have a breakfast and suck down their excellent coffee while working online. Same thing with one in VA at Wilderness.

    Their Cobb salad is excellent and, compared with the other usual offerings, very low in fat.

    Starbucks sells coffee?

    I know what they call that bitter sludge, but it's not coffee!

    The best cup of coffee to be had was at the old "Horn n Hardart" automat. Sadly the automat is long gone. There was something special about an automat in the wee hours of the morning.

    I once tried to explain what an Automat was. Most native Pittsburgher's don't "get" it. I always thought it was a pretty neat concept.

    My first and most memorable romance started at the automat at 4:00am.

    I heard that some company was trying to bring back the automat. This was several years ago. I don;t know how they made out.
