I like my coffee strong and black. I only have one cup a day, first thing in the morning, but make it about four times stronger than most people normally drink. My favorite is Cafe Bustelo, a Latino fine grind, dark roast coffee. I brew it in an electric drip coffee maker at home, but on the boat I have a plastic filter that fits over a coffee mug and holds a No. 2 cone filter. Just pour hot water into it and voila, you have a single mug of great coffee.
By the way, all this bashing of Nescafe--you must be talking about instant coffee, right? IMHO, there's no instant worth drinking, no matter what brand. But I think the best cup of espresso I ever had was Nescafe. A Swiss friend here on Nevis used to work for Nescafe. They market an espresso maker that takes small, sealed capsules of coffee. We were at his home for dinner, and he just popped a capsule in the machine, pushed a button, and seconds later I had a single cup of absolutely delicious espresso. Lavazza makes a similar product, but I don't like their blend as much as the Nescafe.
