N&W Coffee

[NW Mailing List]

Sure wish there was a book of N&W recipes like several other Societies have available.

I’m not a coffee drinker, so I cannot answer the question of taste. My wife is the coffee drinker and she likes it a lot, thinks it does not have the bitter taste that a lot of coffee does.
On the authenticity, the folks who make the coffee have a variety of railroad related food products, to mention but a few: PRR coffee, Reading Coffee, Southern Railway biscuit mix, New Haven Johnny cakes, etc.
This is the only N&W recipe that they have. But it came from the files of the Dining Car Superintendents Association, which they acquired the files of some time back. It is mid 1920s mix, which stayed on the N&W until sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s (man, I wish we had those files!) when it was replaced with another brand, then a bit later was replaced with H&C Coffee made in Roanoke. The H&C Coffee stayed on until the end of service.
We have a good supply in the Commissary.

Has anyone else tried the new N&W coffee available from The Commissary?  I have but I'm not a coffee expert, so all I can say is that I liked it.  It seems to be a good middle-of-the-road blend, but I'd be interested in more learned opinions.   

How about its authenticity?  I had some back in 1959-1960 on the Shenandoah Valley runs and a round trip from Christiansburg to Williamson in 1959, but I can't recall anything specific about it.  

IMO it's a good addition to the Commissary's offerings.
