And even apart from that, I'll agree with him that there's a "comfort food" feeling in "bad" coffee. When I travel I bring my own hand-grinder and pour-over equipment, usually with a bag of beans from my favorite coffee roaster. But having been in the military, I'm also perfectly happy drinking instant coffee with some sort of creamer: It's hot, it's caffeinated, it tastes better than water from the canteen. (OK, so maybe there's more nostalgia in the enjoyment than I realized.)
