I drank 6 cups of coffee at a friend's house.... This is why I always take coffee with me whenever I go places. The first four cups were my own coffee so it doesn't seem too extreme.

Coffee tip 101. Don't drink coffee while deeply engaged in reading. I THOUGHT I just had a single drink left... I topped up my cup and only a trickle came out... So I topped it up the rest of the way, forgetting my coffee cup has a lip on the inside of the top that holds back a little bit of liquid until you tip the cup all the way...
Turns out I had a mouthful and a half. I got the mouthful and my face got the half. O_@

We have a further other brand of coffee package awaiting our judgement. My wife is betting on something having gone wrong in storage, my bet is a change in roasting the beans. As I may have mentioned before, in earlier days the coffee was far more powdery, making dosage much easier with those special spoons. Now it has been very sticky, and has gotten worse with every brand, making dosage more difficult, and annoying. Both of us remember the coffee smell that permeated specialized coffee shops long ago – and emanated from packages of ground coffee for quite a while later. Now, the smell has been strange in several ways, and every one of them had nothing to do with the smell of coffee we remember from earlier days – sour, bitter, basically almost undrinkable. Maybe that’s why so many of you have posted about “enhanced” coffee here – makes me think of camouflage, and those of us who prefer our coffee without camouflage notice how yucky it really is (just a faint bit of conspiracy paranoia shimmering through here).

Maybe it's not the coffee. Maybe your sniffer is on the fritz.

For the first time in a long time, I traded in my coffee on the drive home for a root beer. It was nice for a change.

From our (limited) personal experience, the taste of ground coffee in Germany has now achieved a “Gleichschaltung”.

There was plenty of that during WW II and for a while in the postwar era in Germany (and other European countries too, possibly – England (or GB) seems to have had a prolonged period of rationing of all sorts of stuff postwar, just consider part of the reason why LoTR was published in three volumes in 1954-55). As far back as Fredrick II (“The Great”) of 18th century Prussia there were attempts at ersatz to stem a balance-of-payments problem caused by his subjects’ addiction to the real thing.
No, I’m still betting on a trend towards “Gleichschaltung” of the roasting process, which would accord very well with the hydrophobic cost-cutting reflexes of the MBA etc. suits, the parasites which have infested much of the economy. I had mentioned thinking of buying whole beans several posts ago, but my wife told me that she had gotten a whiff of the coffee that was ground “live” in the supermarket for customers from originally whole beans packages – same stink. I guess hardly anyone has a coffee bean grinder at home anymore, so even those people who nominally buy whole beans end up leaving the supermarket with powder. There are some semiprofessional coffee machines to be bought for private use (absurdly expensive as such things go in my opinion) where the machine is filled with whole beans, which are then ground for each cup one derives from such a Star Wars monster. Not on our to-buy list (freezing hell & flying pigs etc.).
My wife may be switching to tea soon.
