For  me anything fresh ground and lots of it. No milk, no sugar, just black and strong... The best coffee is water in a pot or empty coffee can, bring water to a boil, put in grounds let boil, just a little, A small amount of cold water to settle the grounds and whaaalaaa.. The best.. Ita's even better if you don't wash your can( or pot, Dad used a can) for a week... UMMM good....
