Given that today is the 40th anniversary of the Moon landing I thought it appropriate to take a quick look at the presence of coffee aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft.
Via EatMeDaily.com I found the following:
"For the first time, coffee was brought up for the astronauts: fifteen cups for each man, with Aldrin requesting black, Michael Collins with sugar, and Neil Armstrong's light and sweet."
And no - they were certainly not drinking 12 ounce $tarbuck$. . .
It probably was freeze dried however.

Grendel, just popped in to say found this other coffee blog by accident and pointed him to you. Thought you may be interested in a bizzaro version on other side of the world.

To be honest, my thoughts "yours is much more serious"
I'm hanging out for the next coffeesnobs beanbay to be announced. After 2 years I've finally used the mad run of purchases I made in first few months since discovering popping and the Presso.
I bought a cheap bag from the supermarket (because there was a chance to win a Fiat 500 Pop) and my wife tasted the difference to our own roasts, I denied that possibility, drinking it right now, I know exactly what she means.
It's a good reminder that I've been enjoying quality thanks to the snobs.
