So, many years ago, I had just gotten hired on as a rookie firefighter at a moderate sized city in the Southeastern United States. Other than the typical ribbing that rookies always get, my probie year was not bad. There was, however, a Lieutenant that NO one liked…at all. And wouldn’t you know, I got assigned to his engine company for a three month rotation.

He DEMANDED that I was to do all the station chores (which is normal), and he threatened to give me poor evals if I did not have coffee ready at all times for the senior firefighters. This was not normal, and the rest of the engine company knew this.

Me being a rookie, and not wanting a bad eval (note that I am not a coffee drinker), I decided to give him what he wanted, but as a non coffee drinker would make coffee.

I absolutely filled the coffee filter to the rim, like I had to scrape it off level at the top. I Then proceeded to use about one half to three quarters the amount of water needed.

The resulting coffee was so strong and so thick you just about had to cut a piece off after you poured it….completely undrinkable.

Two times. It took two times, and I was ordered not to make coffee anymore. I got terrific evals as well.
