"On building a pot of coffee: "Most people just dont know how to make good coffee. In the first place, they boil the water before they put the coffee in. Any fool knows you gotta put the coffee in the cold water and bring them both to a boil together. That way you get all of the flavor. Worst thing they do, they throw away the old grounds after using them once. What they dont know is that they are throwing away the best part. You got to keep them old grounds and you add a little fresh coffee every morning and let her boil. Shoot, you dont make a cup, you build a pot. You dont really get a good pot until youve been usin it about a week. Then its coffee!""
