Brown Sugar - NOT the Stones!

Well, I discovered something new (for me anyway) about coffee.
I have NEVER had a knack for making coffee. Nope. No way. Most things I set my mind to - such as it is - I can usually do very well. But - not coffee. Java-making is a black art that has always evaded all my varied attempts.
So, on a whim, this week, I tried my usual cup of disgusting Instant Maxwell House with a large dollop (like that word - certainly visually interesting) of dark brown sugar. Voila! It's palatable.
Not great, but certainly a large improvmement over my usual pitiful efforts. Three guesses what my new coffeee habit will be, and the first four don't count.

Eeeww! Still gross! Come visit sometime and I will show you how to make coffee. All you need is a measuring spoon, bodum, kettle, a coffee grinder, and good beans.
