I will never in my life understand what "strong" coffee is. does it just mean bitter?
This may seem extremely elitist, but having had espresso, American drip coffee, and instant before, a bad espresso is better than a good American drip, which is better than instant coffee.
I get not everyone will have the resources to procure an espresso machine but a thicker/less watery 30mL shot of espresso is very good. There's like a nutty, oily flavour and aroma that kind of blunts the bitterness of the coffee itself. It's still butter but it's somehow more pleasant?
I wish I had that same opinion, I hate bad espresso. good espresso is definitely the best, but you basically need to spend like $5k to get a good espresso setup at home. that's why I mostly just drink light roast drip coffee.
Moka pots are also somewhat popular where I am, and it similarly uses pressure, and generally costs less than $40.
way more coffee to liquid ratio than suggested.
Sometimes this can be achieved by making a normal pot of coffee and letting the coffee pot sit on a heat source long enough to evaporate a portion of the water but leaving the caffiene sludge behind.
To a non coffee drinker - yeah pretty much. Stronger, usually more bitter flavor, but depends on the coffee. The instant coffee called for 1 teaspoon per 6 ounces... my mug is a little bigger than 6 ounces so I went with a tablespoon and a half. Not smart.
