I tried a new coffee shop recently. Their coffee was ok but it had an odd aftertaste of mushrooms. Is this normal?

Only for the shops located in Amsterdam or California.
You mean like "shrooms" or mushrooms meant for food mushroom aftertaste?

It tasted like regular food mushrooms, which is an odd taste for coffee.

Ha! Sorry but I should have clarified this. It's the kind of mushrooms that you'd find in a stir fry, on a pizza or in a tuna-noodle casserole.Only for the shops located in Amsterdam or California.
No that is grossly abnormal and likely means they have fungus/mold in their water supply

Did you make it out of the coffee house and home ok that night
For example I have a nugget ice maker where I pour spring water in the reservoir daily, and it's shocking to see how quickly mold builds up within two weeks.
It is well known that people forget to change water purifying filters in a timely manner, resulting in mold contamination. You also have to disinfect water parts with bleach regularly.
Judging by his response, he did.Did you make it out of the coffee house and home ok that night
But a perfect example why I usually only ever enjoy instant coffee at home. Hold the odd smells and tastes.

i've since learned that mushroom coffee as well as "shroom coffee" are things that exist, but neither was the case in my encounter.
A few years ago I tried one of those "nootropic" coffees that claimed to have some brain-boosting ingredients. It turned out that it tasted like coffee with mustard in it. That got dumped down the drain after a couple of sips.

Interesting, I just got a new 23 ounce container of Maxwell House yesterday from Amazon. About $10 USD which is pretty good. Dollar Store near here (and other stores) charges $6 USD for 10 ounces so there is a little savings there.Good to the last drop.

That seems like a good price to me. I grew up on Maxwell House coffee. Did you know that it was named after the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville?

Nice mug. I'm puzzled about this statement from their website though -
Please note: double-walled titanium cannot be used for cooking or placed over a heat source.
Does this mean that it can be harmed by hot coffee?
That's just lawyer-ese to protect them from "geniuses" who have no clue that you're never supposed to put double-walled mugs on an open flame to boil water or heat up your coffee. Single-wall ONLY.

Correct. Now having said that....I also have the single wall 450 as well. Also highly recommended for coffee. I'll use the single wall over the stove to reheat a cup, and then pour it into the double wall.
