I’ve never even seen it but thanks for the heads up.
salt? Or sugar? Or potassium?
All of the above!
Actually, when I brew cheap coffee, I salt it. Negates the bitterness. It also makes excellent cold coffee the next day (even the cheapest of the cheap!)
Ewww! It has brown sugar already in it?

Is that ground coffee or an instant coffee? I'm fairly sure this is not available in Ireland. Might sound like a strange question, but is it typical for sugar to be added to ground coffee in the US?
No. Not in the US. It is a product from Mexico though, so maybe there.
EDIT: apparently served with cinnamon added as well.
Yeah, I'd I wanted piloncillo in my coffee at all, I'd rather do it on my own.

Instant , but even with a boiling the stuff does not dissolve !
This might be a very specialized thing. There are some coffees that I've had in Latin, Greek & Middle Eastern locales that are spiced on purpose and are used very different from the standard European/North-American "Grind it and pour water over it." coffees.
Some coffees are highly spiced and meant to have a lot of other things added to them. I had some coffee in Greece once that was mostly a frothed combination of cream and instant milk and spices with sort of a turgid little bit of instant coffee whipped into it. That sounds gross, but oddly enough, it was good. "NescafeNes" IIRC. Everyone in the cafe was having it. People carried their own personal little coffee whips and you could hear them whipping their coffee at the table. Very different from a "cup of Joe" in the states, but completely normal there.
But I doubt that the "coffee" portion of that drink would have tasted good by itself.

you are correct...."molido" means " ground".... However I did follow the directions, I think the coffee dissolved but the piloncillo did not, the pieces were very hard , and the flavor was not very good at all...for 59 cents I am not really complaining. As you see on the directions, a small amount makes a huge pot , one small pouch makes an entire quart !
