New Coffee Pot - Bangor

Will be taking a quick road trip to Bangor tomorrow. A friend mentioned all the "hoopla" in the paper about the Coffee Pot. I read some of the articles on line but was wondering if there is one specific "Coffee Pot" sandwich or whether all of their sandwiches are good. Is the sandwich called a "coffee pot"?
I don't get there very often and want to make my trip to the New Coffee Pot worthwhile.
Thanks for your help.

    I'm sorry, but I never liked the old Coffee Pot sandwiches and don't understand the fuss. I just don't like Maine "Italians". I'm just a recovering New Jersey boy, home of the true Italian sub.

      Have to agree, Keg but then again there are some Jersey roots in this transplant. I think it comes down to the roll.

        Agred, mushy roll and the crummy pickle slices and lunch meats.
        Google The Wicked Good Band's song "Eye-talian". A good laugh.

          Well we tried. We had such high hopes...but alas...they weren't that good. (The ride up was beautiful though. A gorgeous Maine day).
          I just don't understand why these places can't use a better quality of meat/cheese and roll? The only place I have found since moving to ME for a decent sub is Full Court Deli in Winthrop. They use Boar's Head meats and their rolls have a nice "crunch" to them when they are heated. Good quality products make all the difference in the world.

              If ever in Ellsworth, try Finelli's.

                Well actually we tried to find the Finelli's that I thought was also in Bangor. It wasn't there. We do plan on taking a trip to Ellsworth though to try that pizza. We are DYING for decent pizza.

                  The best pizza I've had in maine--and I kid you not--are the pier slices on Old Orchard Beach. Thin, foldable, a little crispy, and greasy...just like an NYC slice.

              The key is EXTRA BACON. It overcomes the other deficiencies, which you have described quite well. Trust me. 8>D

              Or you could get a Dagwood (at least in the Waterville area). Same ingredients, but in a pita. And remember, EXTRA BACON.

          get a regular super deluxe. the tuna, roast beef and turkey aren't the traditional coffee pot - the real one has salami and ham.
