LOL...not in all cases, ever tried Dutch or Danish coffee. More milk then 
coffee. Some Swedes drink it this way as well but not all. 

On another front however, my Dad used to blend his own beans in the old 
country for his business. When Tim's opened up in Hamilton and I proudly came 
home with the stuff, I always laugh when I tell this story, Pop took a sip 
and lectured me. Don't touch the stuff, its been blended to be addictive due 
to the high caffeine content, tastes mild but the caffeine will addict you.  
If only I had known....a franchise. 

Instead being the typical youthfull fool my response was yada yada yada. 
Still on at least two cups a day and I must say its a blend that I enjoy given 
the other alternatives available. 

At home and only on Sundays out comes the German stuff. One cup and your good 
for the day. I really dont know how people can drink this stuff in the 
quantities that they do. Not even the Arabs I worked with overseas would 
drink more then one glass (1/2 an imperial cup approx) of Arabic coffee but 
it was spiked with cardamone and brought to a boil at least four times. Man 
what a rush that blend gives you and your hunger pains are gone for the day. 
Hay a new diet concept....hmmmmm. Perhaps its not too late...........:)
