Coffee rocks, but unfortunately I have only found one public place away from home where I like it black. So away from home I order cappucinos.
At home I grind the beans from the coffee bean shop in our coffee grinder and then make a small, strong, black and sweet coffee in the espresso machine. Yum yum yum.
For some reason caffes just make crap coffee. I don't know why it's so crap. I'm sure that's why a lot of people say they don't like the taste of coffee. McDonalds 8 hour old brewed coffee tastes better than most espressos.
In case you're wondering, the good place I was refering to is a middle eastern bakery. The Lebanese coffee (which seems to be identical to the Turkish method) there is usually very nice.
BTW, I think instant coffee is dog's bollocks. I only drink it when I'm at work, I have run out of plunger coffee and I really need a caffeine hit (proper sleep or more exciting work would remove this need).
When I had my first stint I didn't mind black instant too much. But after a week or so the aroma started reminding me of urine and the taste was getting to me.
