...microground beans to add flavor and body to the finished product. It's meant to taste more like the cup you'd buy - and at $2.95 a three-pack, it had better. (My Folgers was $5.99 for a 60-cup jar, even at the usurious prices of a Brooklyn bodega.) The resulting coffee dust (more like espresso than the usual crystals) comes packaged in a sort of coffee Pixie Stix, premeasured. (See the top 10 food trends...

...warmly lit wooden interiors and tiled balcony at Pacharan Tapas & Bodega, tel: (855-23) 224 394, hum with flamenco music and the chatter of aid workers and tourists. Start by rinsing away the capital's dust and heat with a glass of chilled rosé from a drinks list that is dominated by Spanish wines but includes pacharán - the Navarrese sloe gin that lends the restaurant its name. Then order some classic tapas - nutty Iberian ham, spiced shrimp and oil-drenched salads (skip the uninspired tomato bread) - to tide you over the 30-minute wait for seafood paella...
