She didn't like espresso either but that was what the market demanded.
She sold me a cup of regular coffee from her personal pot.

You ask for an “Americano”.

I figured that out myself but it is just a shot of espresso in a cup
of hot water. The lady who ran the restaurant had a Mr Coffee in the
back for herself.
The absolute best coffee I have ever had was at the Myrtle Bank Hotel
in Kingston Jamaica. The Ritz in Naples was a close second. It is a
very strong coffee but not bitter, burnt or harsh in any way. It just
has a very distinctive taste to it and I am not sure how they do it.
