I remember on the old BP tankers, we had to supply the crew with a big pot of tea and one of coffee at smoko,
No instant coffee, we were supplied 7 lb tins of Twinning's ground coffee. with no instructions of how to make it or in what proportions, it was left to the chief cook, then to the 2nd steward and finally the galley boy.
Each had there own theories, some added a little salt, some added egg shells, I never saw anybody asking for a second cup.
So until MAXWELL HOUSE, was introduced, it was mainly tea at smokos.
