For someone who has her daily coffee poured from a French press or a Moka Pot, squeezing it from a tube seems dubious. So, using coffee paste instead seems strange. We have just ordered a tube of Arabica coffee paste from High Altitude out of curiosity over an Instagram ad.

The kettle whistles and signals us that it is ready as usual for our daily cuppa. We poke a hole in the foil seal and squeeze a teaspoon of the paste into the cup, and top it with hot water. The sip is strong, bold, and dense. We make a mental note to add a lesser amount than recommended for our black pour. Although with milk, the amount is just right.
