Strong

The coffee in Sweden is so strong you can probably make tobacco out of it. Sean and I can hardly finish half a cup. We pour tons of sugar and milk in our coffee to dilute it which is something I would never do at home in New York.

Another thing about coffee is that people drink it at anytime of the day, not just in the mornings. If you turn down a cup at let´s say 10pm, Swedes look at you like you must be sick. Something must be wrong with you. And when you explain that ordinarliy you'd love to have a cup, but just not this late because you don´t want to be up all night, they look even more confused. Often, any type of conversation ends right here, with the rejection of coffee.
