As someone who drank Navy coffee for 6 years, who cares what it tastes like? The question is, does it wake you up?

Is that where if the pot gets cold they pour the coffee back into the tank and brew it over? Because I can tell you they do that in the US Coast Guard.

I don't remember that. I only remember a lot of black, bitter brew.

If you're just into caffeine, there are pills to be had on the cheap. They are arguably more effective at waking you up, as well.

They don't hand them out when underway and don't enhance that morning cigarette. I guess you could stock up before leaving port or just drink the coffee.
