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.

Try Caribou Coffee's "Mahogany". It's a dark roast with a smooth flavor.

Actually, the best coffee is whichever 'bold' Costco has on sale. I'll keep my eyes open for
Caribou. Does it come in a K-cup?

Yes, whole bean, ground, and K-cup. Make sure it's Mahogany, they make one that's just Caribou, but it's a medium roast.

eggshells.

Really? I might give that a shot. I assume the shells off of a hard
boiled egg are more sanitary but I am not sure they would impart the
right flavor.

No flavor. The eggshells will reduce the acidity making the coffee
smoother.

This is more than that. The coffee has a different flavor component
that I have never found anywhere else. Even the chef at my wife's
place wasn't sure how they did it. (at least not in any way I could
discern)
It is definitely in the process because our electrician buddy works at
the Ritz and he brought me some of the coffee. It was good but not
Ritz good. This is also not some espresso cup at a time thing since
they make huge pots of it.
