The Cajun’s version of Espresso coffee. Strongly flavored drip black coffee that usually made your hair stand on end. That is why it was served in very small coffee cups. The coffee was made in the small granite white drip pots and never boiled. The water had to be boiling before pouring it very slowly over the coffee grinds. Whenever the compaigne (company) came, the oldest child or lady of the house served the coffee, cream and sugar on a serving platter going from one guest to the other with the oldest, usually the MawMaw, served first.
