Clines Corners -- world's worst coffee

I stopped at Clines Corners today, and I am moved to broadcast a warning to all coffee drinkers:  Do not under any circumstances EVER drink the coffee at that restaurant.  Now, I've had bad coffee, and I've been known to turn up my nose at mediocre coffee on many occasions. However, when traveling, I bend over backwards to be tolerant.  But this coffee was beyond the pale.  It was so bad that I actually refused to pay for it.  I asked the waitress to take it away and give me a glass of ice water instead.  She did so, without protest.

The Southwest Turkey Melt was a good sandwich, slathered with chopped, sauteed, mild chile peppers.  I reached for a sip of ice water to wash it down.  Immediately I understood why Clines Corners makes the world's worst coffee -- It's the water!  Therefore, I expand my warning to include the water, the coffee, the hot or iced tea, and anything else they make with their own tap water.  Yechhhhh!!!!!  I remember that I always used to insult Oklahoma City water, and when I moved to Phoenix, I used to say that Phoenix water made Oklahoma City water taste great.  Well, there is a new champion.  Clines Corners, New Mexico, has water that makes Phoenix, Arizona, water taste great.  I have never in my life tasted such foul tap water.  I'm sure it exists, but I haven't encountered it yet.
