Charmion's Brother Andrew: Kenyan beans are Arabica beans. Also, you can get about any kind of coffee you want in North America these days, including what you call Qawa arabiiya. Since the advent of Starbucks, even McDonald's now offers Barista coffee, which will do in a pinch.

Stanron--those who care for such things have been known to add ground cardamom to the ground coffee before brewing. I was once at a dinner where the host(a rather haughty fellow from one of the coffee countries) served an amazing espresso to about twelve of us at the same time. When asked, "How do you make this?", he indicated that he'd merely tossed some cardomom into expresso ground, and thrown that into a large Moka Express pot.
