Good coffee will be anywhere you can find it. The fast food joint that was next door to my office had wonderful coffee a few years ago. I thought I had died and gone to coffee heaven. Of course, it didn't last, but that period was the best time in my life - coffeewise.

I can brew a great cup of coffee in my cheap drip machine with a freshly opened bag of coffee. That lasts for 3 or 4 days. After that, it loses that fresh bag taste. I guess it must oxidize or something. That's the breaks.
