Organic to Go: February 2009 Archives
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.
They're not putting enough ground coffee in the filter, and the result is brown, tasteless water.
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.
