Heheheheh!! You sound like my teenage grandnephew on the subject of eating
catfish. We converted him, though. Say hallelujah, church. :)

Generally speaking, for coffee, I want a dried, thin-walled chile with plenty
of fire but not a lot of the classic supermarket _C. annuum_ flavor. Serranos and jals
just won't work in coffee, IMHO.
I really do recommend _prik ki nu_, _chiles de arbol_ (lovely warm nutty aroma)
or, best of all, _siling labuyo_ (quite hot, and with a light, hard-to-describe
overtone that goes absolutely great with coffee. And they're so easy to grow
that you pretty much have to hit them over the head with a brick to make them
stop. Ya gotta love wild peppers. :) ) Or if all else fails, you can split a dried
cayenne; start with using half as a stirrer, and go up from there if you want to.
One other thing--I don't sweeten my coffee. How sweet chilefied coffee will taste,
I don't know, but probably very nice.
Keep on rockin',
