The local Tops has 8 O'clock 'Blue Mountain' beans...Maybe I'll try some...

Back in the 50's, the local supermarket in Niagara Falls, 'Loblaws', had only beans IIRC. My parents would weigh/fill up a bag of 8'O'clock beans, dump it into the grinder hopper, put the bag back under and hit the switch...I have no idea what it tasted like, as I didn't drink coffee until...I don't know when I started drinking coffee...

I *think* it was 8 O'clock coffee...It was a black bag, IIRC, with maybe a red spot??? Back then, I drank milk with Nestles Quik stirred in...Remember Farfel???



"N-E-S-T-L-E-S...Nestles makes the very best...Choc-late!... <snap!>"...
