Looked up the regs and they're pretty close to non-existent for coffee. Looking at their caffeine amounts in what they serve their excuse is craptastic. There are other drinks on their menu that exceed the amount of caffeine you'd be consuming with that concoction. Unless they think you look like someone on the verge of a massive coronary event.
Coffee for free MB tins? Now that's fair trade.
Have you tried Stok espresso shots? They are in individual coffee creamer cups and travel fairly well. I use them for a pick me up or to improve tepid coffee.

some gas stations have shockingly good coffee. Some.
Your not wrong. Gas station coffee has saved me a time or two, and doesn't always suck.
If I know I’m going to be out for a long day I have canned cold brew in a variety of styles.Have you tried Stok espresso shots? They are in individual coffee creamer cups and travel fairly well. I use them for a pick me up or to improve tepid coffee.
They run about $.35 a cup on Amazon at 40 mg of caffeine per cup.
STōK Cold Brew Caffeine Shots
STōK up an ordinary cup of coffee by pouring in an extra 40 mg of coffee-powered caffeine. STōK Coffee Shots are non-dairy, un-sweet and won’t alter your coffee’s flavor — only its ferocity.
never been to one of those. But I know one hotel had free coffee that fit that bill.
Australia has a GREAT coffee culture and you can get very good coffee and beans everywhereWhen I worked in Europe and Australia there were usually plenty of good independent coffee shops where I could get espresso (I pretty much only drink espresso - a habit I got into working in the Italian part of Switzerland).
To be honest; I usually despaired whenever I was working in the US (may have been different if I worked in Boston or San Francisco but I was generally in places where dishwater strength pour over coffee was considered 'good'). Ask local colleagues where to get good coffee and they invariably directed me to the nearest Starbucks(my personal opinion is that coffee and Starbucks are not words that should ever be used together).
(To be fair, I did find a great coffee shop just outside of San Diego when I was there, and one of our competitors used to have an excellent Barista on their stand when doing trade shows in Las Vegas and where happy to let us get our coffee from her!)
I did OK in Detroit because the customer's project manager was 1st generation Greek and she lent me a pot and supplied me with Greek coffee (well, Lebanese but much the same) so I could make something drinkable before getting to the office - office had unlimited coffee from a sophisticated automatic grind and brew machine which could best be described as disgusting!
There are lots of good little coffee shops in São Paulo where I now but you have to search them out; the main streets and malls are dominated by Starbucks. There's actually more branches of Starbucks on the Avenida Paulista then in the whole of Australia
So... ...when out and about I often struggle to find coffee and just drink mineral water.
Easy, pal. Since you recognized the above, you know how to do it. Proof reading every few minutes may be all you need!
Good move, Ashdigger.
I have my grandparents Sunbeam C30C vacuum pot. I haven't been able to use it due to the rubber seal hardening. I'm not sure what to do for a replacement or if the seal can be reconditioned somehow. Would you have any ideas?
