Worthless and weak: Organic to Go, I'm very disappointed in you

| | Comments (1) |

I've been brewing my own lately — Trader Joe's Bay Blend at the office, Nescafe Clasico instant (because it's cheaper!) at home.

But today I swung into the Organic to Go outlet at the Daily News' now-not-so-new office-park location for a cup of what used to be very good coffee.

No longer. Worthless and weak.

I tried both "blends," House and Peru, in my self-service cup, and it's easy to see what the problem is.

Don't pull this streetcorner s&%# on me. Not that I can afford to purchase individual coffees day in and day out (remember where I'm working, and in what dying industry), so it's probably not much of a loss for Organic to Go that I won't be subjecting myself to this under-caffeinated travesty.

That and my robust supply of Starbucks gift cards.

Luckily my co-worker Jason Kandel just produced a fresh can of Bay Blend, which when made under the right conditions is better than Starbucks.

Remember this, Organic to Go: There are greater sins, there are lesser sins. But bad coffee is just bad business.
