Annacia does it again, another wonderful coffee full of flavor and beautiful exotic spices. This was lovely, spicy and perfect. I did add sugar, but left the coffee black. This made a flavorful thick coffee that I enjoyed very much. Thank you for sharing alternative methods for brewing coffee and for sharing another winner.

Made as written including the thrice boil-although I always add cream to my coffee-don't like it black. Filtered coffee is still my favorite method but it's interesting to prepare coffee in the<br/>traditional Arabic style. Reviewed for NA*ME Tag/Summer.

This smelled delightful and was truly a great way to relax and treat myself after a hectic morning. I did leave out the sugar as I am used to drining my coffee black. Thanks for another wonderful coffee.

I made it as written and loved the exotic flavoring. I wound up straining it through a B paper towel to make sure I didn't get any of the grinds. Made for "HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 at NA/ME.
