Once while staying in a motel about a half mile from Barry's place in
MO, had some of the most horrid self service machine coffee
imagineable and 20 minutes later had a cup of coffee at Barry's and
wow what a difference. Found out the motel coffee was sold by Farmer
Brothers-they supposedly have some of the most rock bottom prices in
the food service supply industry. This cup was definately worse than
anything I ever had in the service or in any greasy spoon.
