I like my coffee like I like my women hot strong & black 🙂

Have tried some of the offerings from Douwe Egbert & Nescafe & Illy but they are too smooth and mellow I want something that gives me a kick like a box of High 5 gels and tastes bitter like dark chocolate.

Any recommendations are very welcome cheers

For a strong coffee, I'd consider dropping the percolator and a caffetiere and trying an aeropress. Looks a bit strange but is about as close as you'll get to an espresso from a home machine that doesn't do capsules

Hot Lava Java is flipping lovely - no harshness* at all considering how high the caffeine content is.

*Just read that you want some bitterness. Don't put any sugar in!

Lavajava is the ultimate.

In all serious, it has totally changed my coffee habit. I make home-made soya-lattes with it but it's as good black as it is white.

buy the cheapest stale robusta ground coffee from the supermarket, use fast boiling water and stew for a good 6-10 minutes in the cafatiere.
should give you the flavor profile you crave.
