When I was young, we there was a local hamburger joint that at the time had remarkably good burgers. But one of their best products was the coffee milkshake. Instead of coffee-flavored ice cream, they used good vanilla ice cream blended with a highly concentrated coffee mix (think of a very strong cold espresso).
The best thing is that they sprinkled it with freshly ground coffee instead of cocoa powder. That gave the milkshake a delicious coffee aroma, and eventually a crunch that was initially unexpected yet very well suited.
(They used a medium roast coffee. Not the dark roast favored by some, which would be too bitter for this application.)
The original was discovered after leaving half a pot of coffee in the coffee maker overnight and finding a little over a quarter pot of gooey wonderment in the morning(modern coffee makers that shut off after a certain time make this method difficult)
The easiest way to make your own version of my Nuclear Coffee is to get a large conference room sized percolator and fill the filter basket all the way but only half fill the tank with water(If that isn’t strong enough, add fresh grounds and run it through again)
That reminds me of a time I worked in a kitchen. We had a large industrial coffee grinder for coffee, and we had a small coffee grinder for grinding spices. One day, someone who was new and didn’t know better, used the spice grinder for his coffee. Then after tasting it, he was like “This coffee is really peppery!”

There are worse daily grinds.

Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the thicker feel of a French press coffee but this is just wrong

I know way too many people that would call that coffee “weak”.

My lunch is half coffee, instant breakfast, peanut meal, and half milk.

Black pepper is surprisingly good with coffee. A half teaspoon mixed with the grounds for a six cup pot is my recipe.
