> I find myself missing lousy office coffee

What do you miss about it? It sounds very contradictory :)

Not OP, but I get what they mean..

In a world of Americanos, Flat Whites, and Espressos, I often pine for a cup of "plain old coffee", something having likely stewed for hours, to hit that spot.

The ability to drink it by the mug, not too strong etc..

Bad coffee is just nice in its own way. Like ordering coffee at 3 AM in a diner.

Airplane coffee falls into that bucket for me. Back when I was traveling a lot for work, there was something about getting on a plane from Chicago back to Raleigh, late at night on a Friday night after a long week of work, and getting that first cup of coffee on the plane after takeoff.
