#2. Super Strong Coffee

   French friends often expressed their amazement at hearing that many Americans sip on coffee all day long. What they don't know is that the average all-day coffee drinker is normally drinking something like Folgers.  Which I would then try to explain that it's more of a tame, weak, watery version of  the dark, high octane, spoon dissolving stuff that the french would call coffee.
 

   In most households there, coffee is brewed espresso strength and is limited to a cup in the morning and/or a cup after dessert.  After dessert?  Yep.  In restaurants and homes alike, this strong coffee is served after, not with dessert.  It is definately not an all day affair else you'd be bouncing off the walls like they think we must be from drinking it all day long!
