I seldom drink coffee away from home, unless I have brewed it myself. In
our area, the LaRue Coffee Service provides good coffee and brewers to
offices and restaurants, but unless they install a water filter, it will be
a scummy mess. My wife had their service at her office and used bottled
water and it was fine. The water is the secret. Without good water, no
mass market coffee will be good. But to answer your question, I drink Coke
to stay awake. Coffee doesn't keep me awake. I drink several cups late at
night and go right to sleep. harrym
