When I was in my early 20's (early 1970's) a friend and I got into a friendly barroom argument in Bay Ridge Brooklyn about whether 5th avenue or 3rd avenue had more bars.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=575346Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:17:51 GMTI don't think there's such a thing as a Wisconsin town or city that has more grocery stores than bars.

All the major brands seem to have moved away from the 'creamy' and 'earthy' flavors to the generic sweeter versions.

One thing though, it sure tasted a lot better back i n the late 80's, more "mediciney" as Homer would say. Today it tastes more sugary-sweet than root beer.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=574512Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:58:53 GMTI picked up some of the "Throwback Pepsi" and although it didnt knock me off my seat with a kick of nostalgia...it was still very good.

Your machine must be capable of bringing the water up to 200 degrees to extract the maximum flavor from the coffee. Most machines cannot accomplish this.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=573084Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:30:20 GMTI'm beginning to think it might be my coffee pot.
