ThinkGood,
No, it's not the elevation (although when you open container vacuum packed at a lower elevation you must be careful that the contents don't blow out all over the place.)
It's the climate...the religious climate. Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, etc. are frowned upon in a big way...S

OK, now I get it.

The vacuum-packed story sounds interesting!

Prohibition I could take. But NO COFFEE?! That's gotta violate the 8th Amendment! [Linked Image]

I hear you Roger! [Linked Image] About the first thing I do when I fall out of bed is get some coffee on.

I actually ran out one night a while ago and hadn't realized until it was too late. I had to wait until next morning before I could drive into town for some. Cruel & unusual punishment indeed..... [Linked Image]

Paul, thats me. I get up, put food in two cat bowls and one dog bowl, (this gets them off my back) and then I start the coffee. [Linked Image]

I hope you aren't experiencing any lingering effects of running out. [Linked Image]

A little thread jack here, how far would you guys need to go in your area for a coffee shop.

I have 3 shops from two of the areas big chains within 1 mile of my house.

As I drive a lot doing service calls it seems I am never more than 1 or 2 miles from a "fix". [Linked Image]

Is this coffee obsession going on everywhere?

Coffee used to be a must for me.I had a thermos at all times.

I'm now trying to quit smoking,and the coffee seemed to be associated with that.I drink maybe 2or 3 cups a week if that now.On the other hand, cigarettes are proving to be harder to quit. But I'm trying.

I put the pot on before I shower. Once it is done I fill my cup (22oz.) then I fill my thermos with the rest. On week-ends I drink two pots. [Linked Image]

Russell, you can do it. I smoked for 30 years and quit. I used welbutrin and continued coffee and a beer sometimes, (now I can do both with no urge for a cigarette) these were my weakest times.

I must say I had gotten to the point that (worried every time I had a chest pain) I wanted to quit.
