In Germany, I preferred to drink coffee from pods or filter coffee. Today, I can no longer imagine that I liked this coffee. Everyone knows the coffee that has been on the hotplate for too long and then tastes bitter. Incidentally, this also leads to an acidic stomach.      <\/p>\n\n<p>When I came to Israel, Alex awakened a completely different taste for coffee in me. I&#8217;ve moved away from classic filter coffee. We have Turkish coffee and French press coffee.  <\/p>\n\n<p>My hiking equipment now also includes a small gas stove. I copied that from the Israelis. There&#8217;s always a moment to enjoy a good coffee. Let&#8217;s be honest, a coffee tastes best outside with a view over a valley, a desert or the sea, doesn&#8217;t it?   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The search for the right coffee<\/h3>\n\n<p>We bought a coffee grinder a long time ago, but the previous sources for coffee beans were not convincing. There is also often coffee with cardamom. Here they simply call it coffee with &#8220;L&#8221;. Neither Alex nor I like it. Unfortunately, I am often offered it, mainly by Arab traders. I only drink it out of politeness.     <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A source opened up<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/gilboapassion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akko-sea-meer-blog-mittelmeer-israel-gilboa-passion.jpg\" alt=\"View of the old town of Acre with palm trees and market stalls\" class=\"wp-image-4414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gilboapassion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akko-sea-meer-blog-mittelmeer-israel-gilboa-passion.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gilboapassion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akko-sea-meer-blog-mittelmeer-israel-gilboa-passion-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gilboapassion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akko-sea-meer-blog-mittelmeer-israel-gilboa-passion-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>View of the old town of Acre on the Mediterranean<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Around two years ago, we came across a coffee shop in the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/gilboapassion.com\/nicht-kategorisiert\/mittelalterlicher-flair-in-akko\/\">Acre<\/a>.
