I can say with 100% confidence that many Mids are so hooked on the Joe, that they don't go anywhere on The Yard without it, hot or cold.
They have a killer cold brew coffee in King Hall that oodles of Mids fill up 32-oz. Nalgene bottles, with.
Here's a link to The Old Salt Grind, recently opened in Nimitz library.
Cold coffee that's a crime against nature ...
[Old corpse] Back in the OLD CORPS knobs weren't allowed coffee. A coffee maker in the room was a third class privilege, we had to risk lives to these little hidden electric heater things and instant coffee. As third class-men we could only afford Luzziane Coffee with chicory, it came vacuum sealed about the size of a brick. It looked a lot like cross between burned saw dust and cat litter. It brewed up black like our hearts and tasted a little like cat litter with just a hint of burnt saw dust. [/Old corpse]
I owned a coffee roasting company for 15 years. We sold a lot of the Toddy brewers. Google it if interested, they aren't expensive at all. Many people think that cold brew is always served cold. Not the case at all. I keep a jug of my own cold brew in the fridge. Since it is a concentrate, I pour 1/2"-1" of brew in my mug, then top it off with hot water. You can even microwave it. This not reheated coffee, since you are heating it for the first time. The thing I like most is that I drink what I want that day without wasting a pot of coffee. It's delicious.Cold brew coffee is all the rage right now.

1. The "JOE": Dark, hot, and black.

Only way to go....although I will admit that I that I like to drink the remnants of my "on the way to work" coffee on the way home. Depending on outside temperature during the day, it can be a nice Iced Coffee.
BTW, the only way to drink JOE is out of a dirty mug. I've got an old stainless steel, double wall mug, bought at LL Bean for $5 when I was stationed at NAS Brunswick. It has been a fixture in my office since my Navy days (30+ years). I bring it home once a year ...over New Years for a thorough cleaning.
I spent 26 years 20 days in the USN due mainly to free coffee.
Q: What is the origin of “Cup of Joe”?
Ans: ??????
I had a coffee cup with an embossing label that read, Just Add Water. It was totally black and had a fuzz-like substance growing on top of the black. It was so nasty the CMC threw it over the side. I miss that cup.1. The "JOE": Dark, hot, and black.

Is this dirty enough?

I thought my Marine was the only one to drink that stuff. He makes it at home too. Anything that involves fermentation fascinates him.My DD is a mid from an uber-liberal, crunchy-munchy granola, eco-organic, tie-dyed town. She looks forward to the day when kombucha taps are made available in King Hall.
