So I'm thinking...
Bolstered by the thread a few back authored by Mike S., further enforced by an experience at the Menger in SATX...
Long story short Mike got me thinking about cold extractions... Then spousal unit and I spent our anniversary at the Menger and when we got to breakfast in the morning the coffee was good enough that we both looked at each other and blinked in surprise. It is an odd occurrence to encounter something that might actually be better than you produce at home in coffee terms, but there it was. It was by far the best "institutional" coffee I had had. We inquired as to what they were brewing expecting some local roaster to be the culprit, but no. Turns out to be Douwe Egberts, who I know from roll your own tobaccos. The coffee comes in as an "extract" and is reconstituted in the hotel. Well, why can't I? I'll be back to let those interested know how it goes. Best, J.
