At work:
Espresso: I use a macchinetta, which filters the mud and leaves a strong kick your *** taste of victory.
Arabic: I use a finjan, add a fresh ground which I buy in Arab areas. I bring water to boil, lower the heat, add my ground, stir it and let it brew for several moments until its begins boiling and foaming. Then I turn off my primus, and let my finjan rest for a moment. If you are really serious this is where you should add what we call in Hebrew and Arabic hal, and what you know as Cardamom, normally I already buy ground coffee blended with hal. I then turn on my primus again and place the finjan back on it, boiling it and foaming it a couple of times more.
Sugar wise, I adhere to the old school Bedouin tradition when it comes to coffee. A good coffee should be as black as the night, and as bitter as marriage life.
