The gas station coffee in Flagstaff that reset my brand loyalty

I used to swear by the big chain drive-thru, but last month I grabbed a $2 cup at a random pump stop in Flagstaff and it was actually smoother. Now I'm wondering if I've been paying triple for the name on the cup, not the beans. Has anyone else had a cheap place completely flip their daily routine?

Reminded me of my buddy Carl who swore by a fancy roast from Portland until he stopped for gas in Tulsa and the station brew made him pull over and call me about it. He still talks about that cup two years later.

Wait, Flagstaff of all places? That's a town where I've had nothing but burnt, bitter diner coffee every single time I've passed through. Sounds like you found the one gas station on planet Earth that actually cleans their pots. Now I'm second guessing every fancy cup I've ever bought too, because if a random pump stop can nail it, what am I even paying for?
