If you can see through a pot of coffee, it was a waste of good grounds. Such was the weak concoction that passed for the coffee mess at my former place of employment. It had the aroma of coffee and a hint of coffee flavor, but was severely lacking in substance, like a cheeseburger without cheese. It provided a hot base into which I would dissolve a heaping spoonful of instant coffee and derive the necessary booster. Instant coffee is for emergency use only, and its use was appropriate in this case.
I’m a retired sandcrab from Bremerton PSNS. The chief’s mess was where to bum coffee. In 1992 I supervised the dismantling of SSGN-587. A floating asbestos tube. Worked with one of the last of Rickover’s engineers doing it.

Been there and done that
When traveling I carry my own coffee maker
Huh. I never really thought about the "ride at dawn" thing... may have to give that one a second thought before further use LOL
this is just such a wonderful greeting for my coffee loving friends (I am a tea drinker but most of the memes go for me as well !)
