First time I tried this was in Zaku, Iraq working with the kurds during OPC II. I think they got a kick out of watching me finish that last gulp, grounds and all..

My mom bought me a bag of Turkish coffee during a visit to the Middle East. I didn't know it was any different from regular coffee, so I ground the beans and made a pot of my normal-strength (i.e., extremely strong) coffee. UGH!
Had a trial in February, and we ate every day at the same Turkish restaurant down the street from the courthouse. That's when I learned what real Turkish coffee is -- they took me in the back and showed me how they make it. NOT for your normal American coffee machine!!! LOL

I had an old, smelly, rude Turk that I am unfortunately kind of related to INSTRUCT me on how to make Turkish coffee.
Not a fond memory.

I'm not sure quite how to take that, so I'll take it in good faith, chap, what?

I'm with you there, Huey. Nothing like a cup of Her Majesty's Earl Grey to sort you in the morning on a hike.
I prefer to 'use' coffee, not drink it regularly.

NDD that reminds me of the old LRRP rats. They say that you can eat them dry. If you do ensure you drink plenty of water otherwise the rats will extract the water from your system causing severe cramps. Yours truly tried it once in RVN.
I'm sure I have had some bad coffee but don't really remember specific instances. In Germany we learned from some of our Eastern Europaen comrads to lace coffee with vodka. It covers up all of the bad traits.
Some of the best was concocted in the field. We took up all of the C-Rat coffee, cocoa , chocklate bars, cream and sugar and brewed up a good batch of "coffee".

Right-O, old bean! Cheerio!
Just kidding.
I remember getting the Aussie ration packs with the small bit of food and a ton of tea and sugar packets with a tube of sweetened condensed milk. What the heck was that all about?
We would watch the Aussies stop patrolling to brew up every afternoon, no matter what was going on and presumed that you were of a similar mind.

That's for making white tea. Some years ago I gave bench space here in the shop to the Australian axeman Jim Alexander, who'd won about thirty world titles chopping in professional timber sports. Big Jim had hands fully half again bigger than mine and was in that handful of the best axemen that ever competed. Every afternoon when it got hot, it was time for white tea. There wasn't any arguing about it either, it was white tea.

Well we're very civilised in this part of the world you know 
Hey Mr. Harsey, you know, the first time I'd ever heard of Kiwi's in the timber sports was when I saw it on ESPN. It's a pretty cool thing to watch.
