Chock Full O' Nuts has been our household coffee for years!
We buy it in those extra large 42 oz. tins from BJ's Warehouse.
Actually, I think its on sale this week...

I’ve never tried that one. But it certainly has its fans.

More than fifty years ago, Chock Full O'Nuts coffee came in cylindrical cans. You opened them by unwinding a metal strip with the key that was soldered to the bottom of the can.

In New York, Chock Full O'Nuts had lunch counters.

I remember, because I put a big spring in the percolator one April Fool's Day ... early in the morning. Sorry, Ma.

Perhaps that is WHY she switched to instant coffee. :zen: What a breakthrough! This place is way better than a shrink.

I mostly drink Community Coffee w/Chicory, being born and raised in New Orleans, but I do like to keep a can of Chock around - it's a nice simple 'no complaints' brew.
