Why didn’t you pack one of the hundreds of gourmet flavors that you have at the house! I’ll bet Adina is laughing!

Stuck in bad coffeeville
Well, I'm at training in Minneapolis, as you should know if you've been keeping up. To my horror, this morning, I discovered that not only did the hotel I was at have normally bad hotel coffee, it was much worse than the average hotel coffee.
I think I'll have to go buy some from the store to use the handy dandy coffee maker in the room with, but for this morning I had to go find something i could drink.I looked online for a Starbucks, and tried to follow the directions to get there, but I never did find it. I eventually found a Krispy Kreme which has decent coffee, but I had to drive a few miles to get it. So, I was a little late to training, but that's okay since I wasn't the last one.
The moral of the story is, don't ever let yourself get stuck in a hotel without proper planning in the coffee area. You just can't trust them to have decent coffee anymore.For what it's worth, the rest of the Continental Breakfast wasn't too bad.

On the same note to self, don’t ever stay in a Ramada in Columbia, MO. Not ONLY is the toilet water better than the coffee, but the ‘free buffet breakfast’ consists of rotten orange juice, hard biscuits that are supposed to be accompanied by gravy, and empty containers where everything else should be. Oh, and kitchen staff that stands around complaining that they have to work when whats-their-face doesn’t. I least, I assumed from overhearing them that they worked there - I couldn’t actually see them through the smoke.

In response to Krista, I didn’t have the chance to roast any, and the roaster and grinder wouldn’t fit in my suitcase. Or my carry-on.<br><br>Oh,well.

Oh the horror! From one who drinks coffee only when a drip or two accidentally spills into the cup of sugar and creamer she has prepared, I can’t imagine the pain Matt is experiencing.<br><br>Please, oh, please! Tell me Adina has not yet been desparate enough to stoop to drinking this vile stuff!

Rhonda, don’t worry. I still don’t even eat coffee flavored ice cream. If Matt had had room in his carry-on (he loves his machines too much to put them in checked baggage), I still wouldn’t have let him take them. The airline would have confiscated them and added grinders and roasters to their forbidden lists.

I think “grinders” and “roasters” are already on their list but refer more to individuals than to items.<br><br>Vote for Pedro. That would cancel out my vote for Pedito.

I don’t think the water is the primary problem in this case. I’ll find out though, since I bought some coffee to make myself in the room.

How do you know it isn’t the water that is bad? City water does have strange smells and chemicals. Mix it with those smelly beans--what can you expect?
