Whenever I come back from France, I find myself missing the coffee most of all (other than the bread). I love strong coffee, but in the U.S. it is often hard to find the strength and richness without bitterness. I even find myself missing cheap store brands like Carte Noire. Does anyone know a good source of French coffees in the U.S.? I have bought a number of the European brands (like Illy) and have not been able to achieve the same effect at home. It is a matter of the grind? If I grind Illy for espresso, then put that into my drip coffeepot, can I achieve the same effect?
