Another Tipp for a good Coffee from good old Europe: Buy "lavazza Qualita Oro" Coffee, from Italy. You can buy ground coffee, doesn't have to be in grains. Then: Take an Italian Macchina Espresse. I mena thos things, made of metal, you put directly on the Hot plate. You have to screw it up first, and fill some water in the bottom, and the coffee in in the Middle. The close it again and put it on the fire. After a few Minutes, fresh and strong Espresso bubbls in the upper part. I know a lot of italians (and the swiss are espresso junkies, too), who swear on it.
