This is the piece I wanted to write if I'd thought of it. Great stuff.

And you're right. I live in France, and the best coffee is from the machines in the gas (petrol) stations, where a fleet of European truckers mainline coffee after coffee ready for the long trek back to Romania or Portugal. You can speak English, French, or Spanish to them, and we all get along!

I love it! And wouldn't change it for a Starbucks Latte any month of the year.
