    Gee, Postum brings back some memories. I never heard of the stuff until I was doing my internship for my master's in ed. I was teaching a summer school class of 10 learning disabled kids, ages 6-12 every morning. I innocently went into the teacher's room, desperately looking for a coffee pot/pot, but since the place was cleaned out for the summer, all I found was Postum. So, I boiled some water in the microwave and tried it. Man, was that nasty.
    Lisa, your remark made me laugh. Did your mom call it "quick coffee?" Or was that just my mom? We had a real coffee pot, but it seemed like she drank a lot of that poisonous stuff.

    I used to love Postum as a kid! My brother and I decided a couple of years ago to revisit that love. YECH!!!! Then it dawned on us, mom used to dose it up with tons of sweetened condensed milk. Add enough sugary sweetness and anything is delicious.

    No, I don't think it ever occurred to her to 'brew' coffee. We ate a lot of instant food and tv dinners. Thus, instant coffee was just 'coffee' to us.

    Most people make Postum way too strong and it's bitter that way. I was told my great grandfather loved it.

    I would love to have Peewee Herman over for coffee- I'd make him coffee whichever way he liked!
