Pilot reclaims title, "Best Coffee on the Interstate"

The Pilot that I fuel at has a new Coffee Machine. It is called Beans to Brew. This new machine grinds coffee beans and brews a Philmore Cup just one cup at a time. The six containers at the top of the machine are 6 flavors of coffee beans, including House Brew. The rectangle in the middle that looks like a smartphone is an easy to use touch screen.

There will be no more 3 or 4 hour old rotten coffee. There will be no more being forced to drink a flavored coffee because that's all they have. You just set your cup in there, and press the screen twice and whala, a fresh cup of coffee in less than 60 seconds. I would say the coffee is comparable to Starbucks quality. The price is still $1.19 with rewards card and still free with rewards points. If your Pilot doesn't have this new machine, be sure and tell management.

 

Props to Speedway then. These other T/S's need to jump on this bandwagon. Do you know what happens when I buy some old, rotten coffee at 03:00 am? I drink it.

 

And I would add that there is an efficiency factor in play here. I would guess that T/S's have to throw away 10 to 20% of their coffee because it gets old and rotten. Not so with this new machine. No waste at all. And I will go out on a limb and say the the T/S employees won't have to constantly be jacking with the new new machine and perhaps eliminate "Cleaning in Progress'.

 

I like stopping at Independents and spending money there. But I have had just as much rotten coffee at those places if that's what you mean.

 

Oh crap no, let's don't go there.
