How do you like your coffee?

Black, strong and no sugar.

If I buy coffee out, then sometimes I get a syrup - usually hazelnut, but then have an extra shot with it to balance out the sweetness.

Currently I drink it in all kinds of forms. Any kind of coffee will do when you're studying (except decaf!).

So I'd say that I prefer it strong and full of caffeine.

By hot. Adding two spoon of coffee powder, one spoon of sugar and one glass of milk which is the hero of Coffeeee taste.
 
Has anyone been drinking coffee consistently for over 10-15 years? do you think you could give it up if you wanted to? I have spoke to a lot of frequent coffee drinkers and they tell me absolutely not. They wouldn't want to and the headache without their morning coffee would make them miserable.

I've been doing a basic experiment...cowboy coffee!

Bring water to boil with your favorite grind stirred in.
When the water turns to a churn reduce heat all the way to low for five minutes.

Strain the brew through a tea ball.

I use a thermos to gauge the amount of water and then four heaping tables spoons of grind.

No coffee pot...no paper filters.
The tea ball works well as is.

I cheat a little by adding sugar.

It will stand you up...knock you down.
If you get back up...you will want....MORE!

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.

A man who made the recent Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) gave me a jar of green coffee he brought back from Medina when he saw me salvage antiquities from development work done next to his back yard. I'm not sure if he was impressed by the millennium old decorated Islamic pottery sherds I showed him, or because of the fact that I agreed to use some of the fine soil from the work to renovate his garden and prepare it for near-future tree plantation. One thing is for sure, I just took my coffee scholarship to a whole new level. This one smells amazing.

While the place is associated with the village where Jesus turned water into wine in the New Testament, today Kafr Kanna is a Galilean Arab town where they also incidentally ground fresh coffee. Knowing about my 'coffee internship', today my friend from the village who came to do archaeological work with me in Ramla brought me this 1 KG bag of good tidings and smell of earthly deliciousness! (oh yes and coffee aside, we found antiquities too just in case anyone is wondering ;))
