This is my husband’s kind of coffee shop. All the Penny’s ever do is drink coffee, complain, and gossip. They wouldn’t know a deep discussion unless it slapped them about the face. Unless the discussion is about various body parts and the disfunction of said ones.
Ah, coffee houses. One of the great institutions of western Enlightenment civilization. Really.I remember—one of the few things—when I inhabited coffee houses in university. I was the smartest person in the world, just ask me. Deep thoughts. Perfect solutions for everything. Rope belt. The “Beat” Generations. Weed. Trying to get laidl. Nothing much has changed, except no more weed.
WHAT?!!? No “Eight O’clock”?? Also, don’t that place sponsor once-a-month poetry reading groups?…….!!!!!….Oh, yeahhhhhhhh, right. Sorry. all!! Haven’t had my cuppa java, yet!
No espresso. It’s all drips there. I’m guessing there are no free refills. Otherwise, the Penny’s would bring their old cups from the last time and soak up free “refills” when the doofus clerk wasn’t looking.
There is two coffee pots for eight selections, plus supposedly they would need hot water for instant, unless they get it out of the faucet. This is definitely the wrong place for a Brazilian espresso, ask Jerry, he knows more about that sort of thing.
I just wonder how drinkable the swill they serve is after seeing the sign instructing the employees to turn the coffee pot off after six hours. Heat is coffee’s worst enemy. After brewing, any heat causes the brew to become bitter.
Yes, after seeing that they keep the brewed coffee heating for 6 hours, I’m surprised anyone orders it. If I have any (other than a dinner Expresso with brandy) it would be Tasters’ Choice Hazlenut (crystals also good on icecream).
I’m much more likely to have some organic Cocoa in almond milk.
Ok I am a coffee snob and would not want anything on the board, However a lot of my family would love this place it would be the ultimate bonus if the place sold donuts they would be in heaven. My dad would be mad about the turn off after 6 hours he says coffee doesn’t get really until after 8 hours. ick at that point if I had drink I need a pinch of salt to cut the old and acid.

Chase and Sanborn? Chock-Full-O-Nuts?
Taster’s Choice, for heaven’s sake??
What kind of gourmet place do you think this is???You’d better go to one of those Pete’s places or something for that stuff.
Anyhow, it doesn’t matter about the brands at the Coffee Clutch…they fill all the cans with Farmer Brothers anyway,

Don’t forget the original “unleaded” coffee: Sanka.

Methinks, not!

For the record, I drink tea. Twining ‘s Prince of Wales. With milk. Can’t stand the taste of coffee. There, I said it and I’m glad!
