The Where Not to Go for Coffee Shoppe

This photo represents the leading entry in the "where not to go for coffee" category. Without giving too much away let's call it Philo's Coffee Shoppe. You can see that it serves one style of coffee -- awful -- and it is completely self-service. There is a tip jar that is replenished daily so that people may remove money when forced to endure the bad coffee that is provided.

I truly don't know how bottled water combined with fresh ground coffee in a clean pot can result in such a horrible brew. The excuse that it is free is a really sad reason to even go near this. My recommendation is to go just about anywhere other than to resort to this stuff. Hey, mister, back away from the coffee pot and you won't get hurt!
