I'm not sure I could stomach anything called a Whataburger. I keep
wanting to pronounce it as a question. JitB stuff is pretty greasy
- worse than McDs for sure. Do you have Carl's Jr. in Tx? More
expensive and slower than most of the other hamburger joints, but
generally better quality, IMO.

Here's my recipe for good coffee: buy an electric grinder, a thermal
carafe type drip coffee maker (doesn't burn the coffee and you don't
have to remember to turn it off), and a bag of coffee beans at
Costco - we get San Francisco brand around here for a reasonable
price ~ $3/lb (sorry A.). Grind some coffee and put 3/8 of a cup in
the filter. Add water (filtered if your tap water tastes like
whiz), make sure the carafe is empty (I often forget, much to my
regret) and push the button. Drink black and bitter (no additives).
Good stuff, I drink way too much of it.
