Another cup of the Mexican bean imbibed and that's me done for the day coffee-wise.
I can only have one strong cup in the week but often get away with 2 on weekend days.
Off to the 2-day coffee roasters tomorrow to get some more beans.

I have coconut palm sugar too. I'm going to take it into work next week to have with my coffee.
I use a Vietnamese coffee dripper which sits on my cup as no hob at work.

I think you showed us a photo of it on the singles thread? I am quite looking forward to trying the coconut palm sugar

It's nice in pancakes with melted banana and toasted coconut.

bean: posh instant, Kenco Millicano (which doesn't taste a lot different from ordinary instant)
method: kettle
milk: Kara Coconut
sweetener: none. If I have anything it would be a bit of cinnamon.
result: yum. I very much like proper coffee as well but can't usually be bothered to make it at home. Instant is like a different drink really.

Result: a punchy, warming drink that increased happiness levels and prepared the body for action 
Although I do admit that the process of opening the jar of beans, filling the grinder and the smell of freshly ground beans, followed by the smell of brewing coffee is actually better than the taste of it. The ritual of making enhances the experience 10 fold!

I don't find it actually takes any longer to make ground than it does instant and the taste is far superior
