Strange that the article doesn't cover anything I'd call the essence of coffee, smell/taste/flavour.

I visited Iceland a few years ago, and while I was there for only 10days or so (and drove the length of the ring-road that encircles it), have an overwhelming memory of terrible American drip-style coffee. I wonder if that was coffee made for tourism or a reaction to ordering in English not Icelandic. Makes me hope so, so I can return and try again.

Coffee in the Nordic region is about many things, but taste is not high up on the list.

Per the linked history of coffee in Iceland, it seems that coffee in Iceland is made in drip or steeped (kokekaffe) styles. Other sources suggest that Icelandic coffee is drip, strong, and dark. Is that congruent with what you experienced?
