any chance it was Magnum Coffee?

It didn’t have that name on the bin and most of the others didn’t have brand names as well. But who knows where they bought the beans from.

--What store?
I remember years (decades) ago, before I had the boys, I was browsing in a big, upscale department store, and ran across a coffee machine to end all coffee machines. It would custom roast green coffee beans, then custom grind them, then make the coffee. Over 40 years ago, and I STILL think about that coffee maker! Dear Lord, it was expensive, but it has stayed in my mind all this time as the epitome of indulgence!
For me, tonight will be MORE hot chocolate! Of course, I've already had my house blend.

I remember as a kid looking at this guy who owned a 1969 Trans Am. It looked sexy and sleek and I thought it must fast and fun to drive. I have dreamt of that car for decades with fondness, even though I have owned a Trans Am for over 40 years. Its funny how things stick with you. Its too bad you don't remember the brand of coffee maker. You never know there might still be one out there. There is nothing like fulfilling a dream!
I've searched it every way I know how. I can't find a mention of it anywhere. I have a feeling that it quickly went under, due to the difficulty in purchasing green coffee beans in manageable amounts! And this was back before there were home computers, so no google searching! There are several that grind and brew, though.

There is one that does this but it looks a bit iffy. See the link attached. It roasts! It grinds! It brews! But this coffee wonder has a bitter side The one you saw was truly ahead of its time.

You've got to be kidding me. There was a big water break in town and a boil water mandate. None of the restaurants are serving food or drinks, including Tim Hortons! Will this be fixed by Friday?!!

Dark roast black this morning. DH and I were each given SB gift cards on Monday so we stopped for a drink today. I had a latte with oat milk and he had hot chocolate.

It depends since there are various factors that go into when it will be fixed especially since you mentioned it was a big water break. Do you know how many businesses were affected? The best thing to do is call your town's Public Works Department. They would be the ones to ask when it will be fixed since they have to test the water to determine when it's safe. Good luck and fingers crossed.

I know all the ones on Main Street where Tim Hortons is.
GOODNESS! It really was ahead of its time! The one I saw was back around, oh...1978 or so. It was much bigger than the new one, and it did not have a little computer control panel, of course. Everything was dials. And the beans were measured and loaded by hand into a hopper. MUCH simpler, and you could get the beans anywhere (IF you could source them).
Not sure what I'll be drinking tonight. Maybe another cup of the house blend. I could use a little boost.

Mom gave me a suggestion. Go to a different town for coffee! Duh! Why didn't I think of that?! All the surrounding towns have Tim Hortons and Dunkin. I swear my mind is gone. No end to water break, so going to different town tomorrow with high school friend.

Two cups of dark roast black today and possibly green tea after dinner.
Beats me. I'm vacillating between yet more hot chocolate and one of my teas.

Wanted to try the Starbucks at the college, but I couldn't figure out where to go. Am I allowed to go on campus? Parking said residential only at the part I drove into.
