Colombian Roast with gritty chunks in the bottom of the styrofoam cup to remind you this ain’t Starbucks.

Tasted like every other godforsaken cup of gas station coffee I’ve ever had.

Hints of hickory, notes of cocoa and a smooth, crisp finish.
Oh wait, nah I’m just joking. This is actually gas station coffee.

Oh dear. We’ve hit a new low. And that’s saying a lot for a lover of gas station coffee.
Yes, your fears have come true. We’ve moved on to instant coffee.
May the Lord have mercy on our souls.

This 24 oz monster should be named “The Big Dog.” It’s hairy, unkempt and its bite is worse than its bark.

Crisp, full bodied and suited for a king. Also, I had some coffee.

Casey’s General Store, Pocahontas, IA
I don’t know if it was the second cup of gas station coffee today or listening to the Vikings embarrass themselves, but the gut rot was intense after this cup.
BUT, I had the opportunity to enjoy it next to a 30 foot statue of Pocahontas herself.
So who cares what it did to my insides, right?

Picked up this big 16 oz cup of House Original coffee at the only open store in this tiny Iowa town at 7 a.m. It was bold, mostly flavorless BUT killed my caffeine headache.

In selecting from an assortment of coffee pots filled with tap water, I was fortunate to find one pot with actual coffee. The House Blend. It was mellow with a bitter aftertaste. Also, it had caffeine in it. Since caffeine was the objective, I was just happy there was one pot that had something other than coffee.
Gut Rot Rating*: 8
*1-10, WITH I’M GONNA PUKE (1) and CAFFEINE IS WORTH ANYTHING (10)
