I dunno if this is an authentic old ad, or a modern creation. Rick?

Pretty sure it's a play on a retro look, but made today to appear old.

Google it and you'll see there's a ton of places selling this sign and in many variations.

I'm trying to step off that treadmill and today was the first day....no jitters whatsoever. I keep a bottle of Excedrin handy...it has just a tad of caffeine and it's the only thing that will knock out a withdrawl headache.

I've been off it a time or two before, and it really feels great.

i need my nectar of the gods(tupelo honey http://www.floridatupelohoney.com/tupelofacts.cfm) AND MY COFFEE. not together, coffee is best to drink, no sugar. if you can ever get your hands on KONA COFFEE, 100%...........you will be like a drug addict for it. it you cant afford that, this is our everyday coffee.
"Java Time is a great, mellow coffee: a smooth, agreeable sip that contrasts sharply with Starbucks' bitter brew and Dunkin Donuts' less-harsh-but-still-bracing one. Maxwell House? Can't compare. Folgers'? Ninja, please. Java Time is easy like Sunday morning, like remedial Geometry, like Super Mario Brothers III with a Game Genie assist. Java Time is the only brand of coffee that my wife, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and I can all agree on. Java Time is nightmare economy-friendly - only $3.50 a bag at Big Lots, which is half of what you'd pay for most known brands. Java Time is such a wonderful brew, in fact, that I've broken my own rule, that I wouldn't post anything here until early October, which was meant to be the Ill With The Composition Grand Opening, "

Well see, now I'm going to have to steal that.

It's awesome to see so much love for good brew lately. A proper cup of coffee is one of those "the old way was better" things that we had lost, along with nice shoes and a classic straight razor shave. I really hope that all the recent love for good coffee helps make others realize that the crap they're drinking at Tim Horton's is just that, crap.

Edit: I have a batch of cold-brew sitting in the fridge right now that's on its fourth day of brewing. Wife's going to be giving it a shot any minute now. Can hardly wait to see the text she'll inevitably send, extolling its virtues.

chuck wagon coffee, or old world,where you have coffee pot, no insides, you put in grounds and water and boil, let stand, add a 1/2 cup cold water,this takes any floating grounds to the bottom, pour and drink. or turkish coffee is the best way to brew coffee. get a full bodied, full flavored drink that will let you know your drinking REAL COFFEE. another thing to try is adding CHICKORY to your coffee. to get an idea of this COMMUNITY COFFEE has a NEW ORLEANS BLEND....http://www.communitycoffee.com/prod...fee-and-Chicory/16oz-Ground-New-Orleans-Blend or if you got a SAMS near you, they have MEMBERSMARK EXPRESSO ROAST http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=201887
you have to understand i have been spoiled with 100% KONA.........and that is hard to copy, but these come close.

Chickory?! Huh! Never would have thought. I'm going to give that a try though.

No Sam's here, and to be honest, I'd have a panic attack if I had to enter one anyhow, but we have a great supply of high quality, local roast, that I grind myself. Been doing the french press thing for a while, and started the cold brew last year. Just got an espresso machine for Christmas, which has a bit of a learning curve, but so far I'm impressed.

Sidenote for those that haven't tried cold brew. It makes a concentrate that you dilute with water and/or milk, has the same taste and caffeine kick as a full cup of just coffee, but roughly 1/6 of the acid. The wife loves it because acidity in foods and drink usually destroys her.
