It is an acquired taste. I started out drinking it w/cream & sugar as
my father did. Then I noticed that my hero (grandfather) took his "mud"
straight up. So, I switched and never looked back.

I leaned a trick about instant coffee. If you make your cup of coffee
as normal - then put it in the microwave for a minute. It does something
to the flavour that makes it almost taste like brewed coffee.

My go-to watch/clock guy fell off his twig several years ago. But there
is a local (and thriving) clock company with a repair department that I
am told does good work. I`m all digital these days having given my last
(heirloom) clock to my brother and sister-in-law. A pixture of one just
like it is here

You`ll probably have to find a workaround for the hooch in this recipe
but it sure looks dandy.
