Adding more coffee for strong drink seem logical, but it only intensifies the taste without additional caffeine. It just makes it more bitter.
Turkish coffee deserves attention if strong sounds good. Its focused style increases caffeine and taste. Lovers occasionally mix spoon of hazelnut or chocolate powder for new taste.

Good beans and good water matter more than almost everything for good taste.
Cold brew you easily prepare at home. Used grounds even go in bread. Rye with coffee grounds and oats in sourdough rolls are good idea.
