Fresh ground Guatemalan French Roast from Lakota Coffee Company in Missouri. 3-4 cups per day. 2 shots of Nespresso on the weekend.

Yes! I also have a Nespresso machine at home. It's the closest thing i can find in U.S. that tastes somewhat close to an espresso in Italy.

I heard good things about the mountain coffees of Mexico. From the name, that sounds like it's marketed as growing in volcanic soil. Chiapas is famous for their beans.

Oooo is that what i think it is? Where i'm from that's called Turkish coffee. My wife or my mom makes this sometimes because they like their coffee strong, but i don't like Turkish coffee. I like espresso the most. :D

That's an Italian Moka pot. I'm pretty sure if you call that Turkish while in Italy, it's grounds for immediate deportation. ;)

I know. The Greeks do the same thing. They don't know how to make this type of coffee so they call it Greek coffee but it's Turkish coffee.

Italians don't make it as strong as the Turks because the beans aren't ground as fine. It's actually quite good.

You like this type of coffee?
It's very thick and it leaves a thick sediment on the bottom of the cup and the old ladies "read" this cup to tell someone's future.
:ROFL:
It's a nice socializing event, a pastime activity because they don't take it too seriously.

If here's sediment at the bottom, that's how you know they used a "Turkish grind." The consistency is like talcum powder. If you use Espresso grind in the same pot, it won't be as strong and won't have that residue.

They did something similar to this on a yearly Greek festival they do around here. And they called it "Greek Coffee" lol
So, i ordered one, took the first sip and i immediately put it on the table and went for a regular American coffee to remove the bad taste from my mouth. :LOL:
My wife liked it though.

It's not bad if it's sweetened (and I never add sugar to my coffee). Just never Ever EVER drink to the bottom of the cup...

Ya know what's really good -- and everyone here's going to slap me -- is coffee from this coffee machine at my Toyota dealership. It makes regular coffee, hot water, espresso and cappuccino, and slap me and call me Shirley, but dang it it's good.

If anyone has trouble with acid reflux, this coffee may be for you. I bought some and it's not bad. You can get it in regular or decaf.
