What'll it be?

Definitely not crap. In some countries, it's the only kind of coffee you can get that's actually packing the caffeine. And in some others, it's probably the only kind of coffee you can get.

Good in its own right, and infinitely preferable to a watery filter coffee or (god forbid) instant coffee.

Not crappe at all under the following condition: The owners of Aladdin's in Richmond, VA would invite me to sit down with them in their pre-remodeled location and provide some of this beverage and Baklava for free.
