If you can still drink it then it’s not strong enough. You should have to eat it with a spoon.

Chuckwagon coffee recipe: One pound of ground coffee to a gallon of water. If it won’t float a horse shoe, pour it out. Ain’t strong enough…..

In my department the 0600 to 1600 watch made the urn of coffee..I worked the 2300 to 0700 tour. Coffee syrup was the norm by EOW.

I was going to say just put some water in your cup, pour the coffee and microwave it, but never mind.

That looks like Army coffee. If you throw a horse shoe in and doesn’t float, it is too weak.

looks right to me!

Now THAT’S strong coffee!!

Isn’t orange for decaf? If it’s not real coffee, it doesn’t matter how strong it is.

But it’s good to clean silverware.

I worked for a guy who told about when he and his brothers were teenagers, his mother would put a big pot of coffee on the stove in the morning and they’d all fight for the last cup of sludge before dinner time.

this happened to me when i was helping to run a bilingual call center…they sent the girls in to sit down with me and tell me my coffee was stronger than expresso

Just slice off a piece and quit yer bellyaching.

The complaint I always received was that the coffee I brewed was too weak. Nope, I prefer it that way. I don’t want coffee where you could stick a spoon in it and have it stand straight up.

My Ukrainian grandfather on making tea, “Too weak, can still see bottom of cup.”

on my 2nd job people asked me to make the coffee, since I don’t drink coffee I put 3 times the scoops in. They never asked me to make coffee again.

Cut me a slice—I could use it this morning.

Now that’s darn good coffee. And hot!

I was always accused of making coffee too strong. So at my last job I ended up putting a personal coffee pot in my cubicle. Darn sight easier than trying to explain to those who like warm brown water they could just cut mine with the hot water in another carafe. (Presumably for making tea, although I never saw anyone use it.)

dear ol’ dad never wanted to have any of my suggestion that he could water the coffee down if it was too strong, always insisted on hot water with a tinge of coffee flavor…

I want to try that coffee!

We had an office coffee maker at work for our division. Some idiot always would make a pot and then put his cup under the coffee maker drip to get the first of the stream of coffee in a huge cup – leaving the rest of the pot weak. He didn’t care either, just said that if you don’t like it, make your own pot.
